Nation was one of my favorite books from the past year. Have you read it?
That trip sounds marvelous! I didn't make it to Stratford-Upon-Avon but would liked to have. Oxford was awesome. Hee, if you go in February you'll need to buy a heavy coat! Oh, and in London ALL the women had beautiful scarves around their necks. I had to buy one or...three. :)
No, not yet, but I think you were the one who recommended it. I'm working on the second Lymond right now.
I can't remember if it's Oxford or Cambridge we're going to visit. Hm. But I have my fantastic big thick black coat that I got for my France trip! Even though I didn't wear it because it wasn't THAT cold. And scarves - I live for the weather in which I can wear them :D
