Read/reading: QI by John Lloyd (and loads of other people), Fables by Bill Willingham (and a few other people)

The QI app (collecting The Book of General Ignorance and The Book of Animal Ignorance together) eventually got a bit tiresome - there’s only really so much trivia you can consume before you stop caring altogether, and while I know exactly how to prepare worms for dinner, I can’t say I learned anything that could be delivered without the sort of smug air you’d expect on Radio 4. Time for a change of mood.

That specific mood is the ridiculously popular Fables series, which was completely unfamiliar to me before The Wolf Among Us and which hooked me in less than an hour of reading. I have quite a few comics queued up, but also a mountain of fiction. After all this historical dryness, I need a bit of imagination.
