Unruly by David Mitchell

 A breezy, kaleidoscopic, flippant history of the British monarchy through the death of Elizabeth I. A pretty enjoyable read, but there is--completely reasonably, it would make the book something like fifty times the size--so little context for most of what's in it that I don't expect much to stick for me. That's probably fine, because much of the point of the book, per the Afterword, is that kings and queens aren't really all that important, unless the people around them make them so; that's a sentiment I can get behind.
