From your interests, I bet you'd LOVE From the Holy Mountain by William Dalrymple, if you haven't read it already. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805061770/104-6298192-0104760
...and it was the only one of Willy Dalrymple's books to be reviewed negatively by the American press. When you get to the chapter on the experience of Christians trying to live in the so-called "Holy Land" you'll see why.

These are the interests of yours which I resonate w the most. It doesn't mean that the ones I did not list do not hold interest for me as well. These are just the ones that jump out and grab me. So, as a sort of jumpstart, what would you tell me about Thomas Love Peacock?

Crotchet Castle is a lot of fun. Then again, so is Nightmare Abbey.
