The Girl of His Dreams

Last night I started reading another one of Donna Leon's Guido Brunetti series. This is called The Girl of His Dreams and it is good as usual. Despite the fact that I don't really like neither the detective nor his family, I find them good and compassionate characters and Ms.Leon's descriptions and literary suggestions are always welcome. Brunetti used to read Roman history, now he is reading Greek classics. And despite the fact that Henry James is not a writer I enjoy (excluding Washington Square which is great) I like Dickens although not as much as his wife Paula does.
