"XML Schemas". Well, leafing through it. Job-related.

Why not? There are words in it.

am now on a barbara vine (i.e. ruth rendell) cos i've never read any of heres.  it's brain candy, so easy to read.

Which one? I just googled her and a couple sound interesting.

hmmm.  not sure i'd recommend "the minotaur".  it was readable, but i bet you'd feel as patronised (and more than slightly cross) as i did at some of it.  i won't say more, in case you intend to read it.

I saw enough online to realize it was probably unenlightened. Though that could be made up for if her writing style was good enough. It was The House of Stairs that caught my eye, if only because it had the same title as a William Sleator book I loved as a kid, and Gallowglass that made me wonder.

i have a recommendation for you: i thought of it in the bath last night, while i was reading A.S.Byatt's "the djinn in the nightingale's eye."

read her "babel tower" - it's pretty odd in places, and it's more or less fantasy, and very dark.  it's also a bloody huge book.  youmay well like it - there's plenty of weirdness around power, relationships and general people-ness.
