A Bit Of Ackroyd

Too lazy to keep a diary I thought I would blog. Visitors are welcome to the site and I would love to recieve messages but this is as much for me to record the things which make me feel life is worth living as to share it with others. I am on a bit of a Peter Ackroyd Kick at the moment, having just finished his excellent novel "The Fall of Troy".
As this is based on the life of the real archaeologist Heinrich Schlielmann it sent me scurrying to Wikipedia for some welcome innacuracies. I am waiting on a dirt-cheap internet-bought "Chatterton" by Ackroyd and in the meantime am keeping myself busy with Graham Swift's '96 Booker Winner "Last Orders" which is just getting good. Last night I stuck on Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto and got lost in the book.
