Dodger, Terry Pratchett
Dodger, by Terry Pratchett. Just got around to finishing this. In real hardback book format (like all my PTerrys) and therefore liable to being dropped each night as I slip into slumber.

Review: Stealing Into Winter, by Graeme Talboys
Following on from http://www.rosher.me.uk/wordpress/?p=1260 From the out, this is a good read.
