January 2009 books

We saw in the New Year with Anne's brother and his wife, and a big chunk of slow-cooked venison; and then immediately zoomed off to Birmingham to watch John Barrowman in pantomime. While we were in the theatre, it was announced that Matt Smith would be David Tennant's successor on Doctor Who. Otherwise I didn't travel and it was cold.

This was also the month that I set up reading lists using LibraryThing.

Totally delighted with Hamlet, which you can get here, and Twelfth Night, which you can get here. Utterly repelled by The Fountainhead, which you can get here.
