An undeservedly famous book: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. *yawns* What was all the fuss about?

A book I ought to read: Any of the 20+ plays by Shakespeare I have never read.

A local council for local people

There's a political row in the wake of Labour losing overall control of St Helens council.

In April, there was a cross-party agreement to appoint a long-term Conservative councillor as mayor. However, after the local elections, the council is split this way: Labour hold 24 seats, the Lib Dems 16, and the Tories 8. And the mayor has a casting vote.

The Labour group leader has put forward a motion to prevent the Conservative councillor from becoming mayor. Big council vote tonight - and the outgoing mayor, with the casting vote, is a Labour councillor.

Companionable

I think this would make a great story.
