Yes, I've joined the craze, I got 'The Casual Vacancy'. I personally find that I'll never be able to read Harry Potter again in the same, innocent light. J. K. Rowling's first adult novel is seriously weird, middle-class stuff.

Due to holiday "work" commitments, it was a trip to Salisbury Cathedral. Absolutely gorgeous, stunning architecture and area. Learned all about William Longespee and Lord John Cheney plus a talk from German author, Cornelia Funke.
