I finished reading The Odyssey yesterday and enjoyed it. I also ducked back into chapter 46 of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell as, for some reason, that section of the book had not imprinted itself upon my brain at all. I was glad I reread it as it made me think that magic could actually exist, and who wouldn't enjoy that thought?
Oh, and Geoff is my father-in-law. It's his birthday today. In case you're wondering, since I mention it in my pages. Geoffrey, with two Fs.
