Weekend Reading Roundup (30 August 2017)

How did your (last couple of) weekend(s) reading go? If you planned on anything specifically, did you read it?

Apologies for lateness of this and lack of previous week's postings. It was a bank holiday weekend in the UK & also I've been overwhelmed with work.

Quick reread of the first three volumes of Dance. Now working through a history of Hong Kong and the Hutcheons' book on Disease, Death and Dying in opera.

Sounds good! Especially that last one. It reminds me of my recent perusals of The Encyclopedia of Pestilence, Pandemics, and Plague. For instance, before I owned the book I was vaguely aware that typhoid and typhus were different diseases, but not the specifics.
