BOTM: M. Lewis, Moneyball
C.E. Hill, Who chose the gospels?
G. Redmonds et al. Surnames, DNA and family history
D.L. Sayers, Have his carcase
D.L. Sayers, Busman's honeymoon
E. St Aubyn, Mother's Milk
Last decent month for a while I feel. I've noted this parenthood thing doesn't give you a lot of time for novels. Best was probably Moneyball, though St Aubyn had his moments (ultimately let down by a slightly flat ending, whereas the start was great). Moneyball has been slightly overhyped, but its fascinating, even if it does have a breathless admiration for 'stats' as if they've done some more complex analysis than they in fact have. In reality the triumph isn't one of statistical method, but one of data. Nonetheless, it's great.
