Cracking month this - barely a bad book, but Burroughs the best. I was very pleasantly surprised by the honesty and the wicked humour of what is fundamentally a depressing litany of alcohol abuse and terminal illness of one's best friend. Uplifting in the end, but very well written. Couple of honourable mentions worth going to Scallard's excellent textbook on the end of the republic and Gideon Haigh's collected essays. A peerless collection from the best cricket writer active today.
