I just re-read Tooth and Claw. Firstly, does anyone have a nice list of the ranking of the noble titles? I keep getting them in the wrong order.

Secondly, I'm curious, does anyone keep notes on that sort of thing when they read? Possibly I sometimes read too quickly. In an intricate detective novel or similar it would certainly make sense. But it always feels over the top for anything else, even if if there were a list of N things or characters you could keep a lot more straight if you had a little list of the names.

Thirdly, had anyone read any of the Farthing series?

I'm intending to keep notes next time I attempt to read Seven Pillars of Wisdom; I got quite a way into it but have now left it for sufficiently long (too little time! Wah!) that I'll need to redo from start.

Blimy, I expect so. What did you think? It sounds fascinating, but I wouldn't have thought to read it myself.

I really, really like his "voice", but I suspect anyone who didn't would find the book utterly impossible and deeply irritating.

Trying to keep track of all the names is the tricksy bit I'm intending to keep notes for!
