Radetzky March by Joseph Roth - a novel about the decline and fall
of Austro-Hungarian Empire. The longing for things past, nostalgia and a lot
of historical detail. If you're into history of central Europe and good literature,
then this book is a must. I also recommend The Emperor's Tomb by the same
author.
I've gone back to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime as preparation for seeing a preview of the new National theatre Production of it later in the month. I'd forgotten how good it is!
