I skimmed through parts of Stephen Leacock's Afternoons in Utopia (1932) - a very mixed bag of a book, I thought - in part wearily sending up the "dream of the future" genre, in part using it for humour (the book was pitched as humour) and in part using it for political and economic manifesto. An interesting book, but I decided not the one I want to read just now.
On Tuesday I discovered a Diana Wynne Jones Deep Secrets which I had bought and shelved without reading about a year ago. Pretty good, although felt a bit too many ideas crammed in at some points. Finished it today.
