It's not often I have three books on the go at once! But I've just finished Nothing. An interesting collection of essays on subjects like the zero in mathematics, vacuum, and absolute zero. Enjoyable, but nothing particularly surprising.

Perhaps the best for me was the historical consideration of zero in mathematics.

Now back to Crocodile on the Sandbank (which I'm enjoying a lot), and then back to the Kelly short stories.
