OK, it's been a bit of a tough summer here in Obscurity. But appreciating the summer just as it is, along with a dose of humor, always helps.

Because everyone is talking about London right now, a short list of fiction that features the city:
 |
| George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London. Link. |
 |
| Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, probably my favorite of the bunch. Link. |
|
|
 |
| Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall. Link. |
 |
| Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry. Link. |
