landofnowhereMagnificent Rebels, Andrea Wulf. Finished this -- the level of drama did pick up a bit to keep me reading, but this wasn't quite the book I wanted. Good to see my old friend Dorothea Veit (nee Brendel Mendelssohn) again, even as a minor figure and although she and her sister-in-law Caroline didn't get on particularly well. The book that this made me want to pick up was Madame de Staël's On Germany/De L'allemagne.
The Lady's Not for Burning, Christopher Fry. Play read-aloud, doing this for the second time -- the first time around I was deeply in character as Hebble Tyson, whose sensory overload and general desire to nope out of this whole thing I found relatable. This time I read the part of Tappercoom (creepy old judge) who was fun, but less relatable. The language on this play is so great, though, and it's good fun.
Children of Time, Adrian Tchaikovsky. The third book in this series just came out, so I'm rereading from the beginning. This is still very good, and I tore through most of it over the weekend. As usual the spiders are more awesome than the humans, though I'm coming to care for the human plotline more in this reread.
