i just finished "things my girlfriend and i have argued about" by Millington. i love his website and columns so i was pretty excited to (finally) read his books as well. i actually had started it quite a while ago but i got distracted, or was in the mood for something else, or something (i can't actually remember) so i put it aside for several months and only just came back to it ; this time i got into it really quickly and several times it made me laugh uncontrollably. now that i've finished it i'm thinking of getting another (or both, probably) of his books, but i'm having a hard time deciding which one to read next since they both look good. i was thinking of reading "a certain chemistry" next since that's his second book (tmgaihaa is his first). have you read anything else by him ?

The denouement is funny, but not entirely convincing. This is the first of the "Evadne Mount" stories - another is "A Myterious Affair of Style" which I shall look out for after reading the original, which is this month's MR bookclub choice.
