I accidentally walked into a book store over lunch and came out with a copy of Bohumil Hrabal's Closely Observed Trains. I've been eyeing it a for a while now - along with his Too Loud A Solitude - and have been wanting to read him for a while.

I've already got his I Served The King Of England but I suspect sitting down to read that will require a chosen afternoon as what few chapters there are come in at sizable chunks that makes dipping in and out a tricky prospect. Although I suspect his Dancing Lessons For The Advanced In Age may be even more of harder title to read, given that it's a single sentence that runs over a hundred pages.
