I'm supposed to be reading that but have been held up by attempts to understand St Thomas Aquinas... any chance of a synopsis when you've finished it

Yeah its deadly. But were you not going slightly mad, looking for a connection between the stories, that isn't really there?

His Moon Palace is a great book too..

Good stuff. Now read everything else.

I just finished "Vile Bodies" by Evelyn Waugh. Funny stuff. Like Wodehouse but without a plot.
