Finished Strangers at last. I wanted to like it, I really did, but I found myself skimming the last 40 or so pages unable to engage any longer with the subject material. Parts were really interesting but Robb crammed so much information in and assumed so much previous knowledge on the part of the reader that I found myself quickly swamped. In addition the lack of evidence for homosexual behaviour in the past means that a lot of the work was highly theoretical and relied on almost listing previous authors and what they have said about the subject.

I have taken refuge in The Mitford Girls and Children of the Night (fourth library book) and will be returning Strangers to the Library asap next week. I have renewed the last few library books so I no longer have to return all three on Monday, I now have untill 7-11-08, phew!
