Lots of gruesome blood turned out to be Victor Lam's award winning Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, and some of the others have included a book of Alan Fotheringham's essays, Hamlet, Lord of the Flies and Pride and Predjudice with more to come!
All of this, plus I'm halfway through Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union. So I have more than enough to read as the wait goes on.
