Flutterby™! : Dream of Scipio

On a positive note, I finished Iain Pears' new novel, Dream of Scipio, this weekend. I wasn't much of a fan of An Instance of the Fingerpost, but it was all the rage in my social circles, so I felt like I had to read Dream of Scipio. I enjoyed it. It's a tragedy, but you know that within the first paragraph, so you can get on with enjoying the three tales. The literature references move the story well, but you don't have to get them, he's got some great thoughts on good intentions leading to evil, and keeps it interesting. Recommended.
