David J. Forsyth
I've had a very lengthy reading list as long as I can remember, though I infrequently cross a title off the list since others are constantly coming to my attention. More importantly, I prefer to spend my time writing, and my current manuscript, an historical novel, demands a great deal of research, so this summer will be spent reading the British Library's 800 page "The History of Clerkenwell" [William J Pinks & Edward J Wood]. If I manage that by September, I'll move on to "Lost London, 1870–1945" [Philip Davies].
Together, these books will hopefully provide me with a better understanding of life in nineteenth-century Clerkenwell, London, the setting for much of my current work, tentatively titled, "Alice."
