My lovely local library organised an inter-library loan and now I have a gorgeous, fat book waiting for me to crack open. It's tempting me from the top of the bookcase, uncaring that I have work to do. The Silk Roads looks fascinating and had a great review in The Guardian. I'm an intrepid armchair traveller, and on this journey I'll also be travelling back in time. Can't wait!
Do you have your weekend reading sorted? Anything you've been waiting on?
