Next up: The Grail Tree by Jonathon Gash. The next (third?) in his Lovejoy series. Some bits one winces at, but I like the stories overall.

I was much more able to take the TV series, where these elements were played down. I found the books just a bit too much and abandoned them. Loved the stories, hated the misogyny.
