The Queue
I very much enjoyed Life in the Fast Lane & the glimpse it provided inside Formula One, but I've taken the lesson of the longing for an F1 grand prix that it engendered; based on that longing, it might be inadvisable to read The Big House before I have weekly access to Michigan football. Accordingly, John Buchan's The Thirty-nine Steps has once again been pushed aside, this time by SS-GB, an alternate history detective-cum-spy story set in a Great Britain under Nazi German occupation in 1941.

I'm up to № 8 in the queue for Carte Blanche. After waiting since I was № 68, I really hope this doesn't turn out to be another debacle like Devil May Care.
