Incredible book so far. Just started part two.

Also /lit/, I'm going to London for a week in July. Any /lit/ things I should check out while I'm there? Bars and cafes where people wrote? I'm going with my family, so we are doing fairly toursity stuff (but we've been there several times so nothing like the London Eye etc.)
