Three Men in a Boat is a quick read and pretty amusing. I do wonder how someone ends up being named Jerome K Jerome. That’s slightly more boggling than William Carlos Williams, even.
Catch-22 features a character named Major Major Major Major and only the first one is his military rank.
It also mentions how that happened!
Don't know if this qualifies as "literary," but there's a book on sale called Girly Drinks. It's about women and booze - making it, drinking it, etc.
I have The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen, KJ Charles' latest, on my iPad, but I have to work all day. This is wrong, and I would like to lodge a complaint.
Work getting in the way of reading is the worst. Bookblockers.
Yes, I checked my e-books earlier and there it was! still have to work ... have a zoom call at 2:00 and will have to spend most of tomorrow in a staff meeting.

I hope you've been enjoying it. She got a new narrator for the audiobook and it's fantastic!
I am enjoying it! I’m reading the ebook. For some reason, audio books just don’t do it for me. But I’m glad you’re enjoying the new narrator.
I'm gifting myself with the two books in Hoffman's Practical Magic series I don't have. I noticed the black and gold theme all the books seem to have, and I knew my copy of PM wasn't black and gold. So I got it out, and it's blue and lavender with a sort of tree design on the dust jacket. I had googled dust jackets for the book and not seen any that looked like mine. Puzzle solved: in the corner of the dj flap is a price marked in pounds. So, a British import. It's still in like-new condition, having been read twice and then shelved. The dj slipped off the back, and in putting it back I noticed inside the back cover, where I'd never noticed it was a fancy plastic bookmark full of Lindesfarne-esque Celtic designs. It was attached with two little dots of glue that was easily scraped off bookmark and page. So...present from the cosmos, I guess. Pretty!
