Just remembered something else I wanted to relate: (co-worker) Buck asked what I was reading at work the other day and I showed him "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell"

"What's it about?"

"I can't really tell you as I haven't gotten very far into it, yet."

So he proceeded to read the entire overleaf of the jacket out loud in a declamatory voice. Then concluded with, "Sounds good! Sounds like something you would write. Except they'd be gay."


I've been meaning to tell him that as soon as Norrell gets to London he meets a very gay young man whom he allows to decorate his new house. Also, I'm only a quarter of the way into it, but at the moment I'm thinking Sir Walter Pole/Stephen Black makes a LOT of sense, as does Thistledown Hair*/Stephen Black.

*I don't know if he has a name, as yet.
