What I'm reading ...

I have started Regeneration by Pat Barker.

Another book that I wouldn't have taken off the shelf, but for it being the next R4 Bookclub selection. It's set in WW1 and seems to be primarily concerned with the mental effects of warfare on the troops. I am unclear how much is fact and how much fiction, as two key characters are Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves. I don't know enough about them to be able to guess what might be factual.
