Happy New Year! The return of something I last did way back in 2016. I cannot believe it was quite so long ago. Anyway here is (as far as I can remember) my fiction reading from this last year. Discoveries were: 'Dr Zhivago', 'The Jewel in the Crown', and 'The Secret Agent'. 'Heretics of Dune', by Frank Herbert was, like 'God Emperor of Dune', was a much more impressive piece of fiction than 'Dune'. Only one real disappointment: 'Heat Wave' by Penelope Lively.
