What a year it has been. It has to be admitted that I have not blogged as often as I should in 2011. For 2012, it should be a daily event. Mycroft Snooks conquers blogging! Perhaps it won't be as dramatic as that but some progress has to be made.
I've just finished reading Richard Blake's Sword of Damascus. The first of Blake's novels I read was Conspiracies of Rome and they are interesting novels, set in the 600s around a crumbled Rome and struggling Constantinople. There are four novels now, and the anti-hero Aelric is a Flashman-esque character. A cad, man of action, scholar, entrepreneur, jurist, spy! It's a fascinating period of history about which most of us know little, just after the fall of Rome and in the beginning of that shadowy 'dark ages' period.

First time reader, first time commenter (but occasional dinner companion). On matters novel I commend to you "Good Omens" by Messrs Gaiman and Pratchett. Has it crossed the desk of Mycroft?
'Good Omens' has not yet landed on the Mycroftian desk...it's only a matter of time now though.....
