Fancy a reread?

Hello!

Myself and a few friends are doing a group reread of the Peter Wimsey books (starting with Strong Poison) over at talking_piffle.

or "are they having sex or talking about poetry?"

I generally feel that if the speakers are Peter and Harriet, one can be fairly confident that they're talking about sex :-)

Particularly if they are quoting Donne. I am less sure about when they are quoting Kai Lung because I only ever made it through two pages of the thing.

Kai Lung is prose (I quite like it in small doses) so doesn't count as code in the same way. But definitely Donne.

Great idea. I won't be able to take part now but hopefully will be able to join when another book is read.
