I spend a lot of time on trains.  This is what happens when your nearest and dearest are scattered all over the country.  However, it's not a bad thing; I can spend the time writing and surfing the net on the train's wi-fi, so the time isn't wasted.  I also have the rest of a book by Jeremy Paxman to read.

I just finished reading Henning Mankell's Return of the Dancing Master.  It was so good that I couldn't put it down, especially towards the end.  I'm really glad I've discovered Mankell, he's a fantastic writer and so far has made several of my train journeys go a lot faster than they would have done otherwise.  Last month I read Firewall, which is number 8 in the Wallander series, and I'm also looking forward to starting Before the Frost, which features Linda Wallander and the protagonist of Return of the Dancing Master, Stefan Lindman, alongside Kurt Wallander.  If it's as good as the other two were, I'll be hooked.
