I was in the middle of Hadrian VII several years ago, getting a kick out of the author's exhibitionistic projection of his giant self-image on his big canvas, but then I was in a car accident and lost interest for a while... Since then we've moved, and now it's in a box somewhere and I'll have to dig it out at some point... but after i finish Mr. Norrell and Jonathan Strange, which I'm enjoying a lot.
