It's been a little while since I finished a book, after quite a run of reviews and whatnot, so I'm going to have to satisfy myself (and, I'm afraid, my readers) with little puzzles instead.
Here's a tricky one. Can you get from Bertrand Russell to DH Lawrence in three steps? Fill in the gaps... and explain why. What japes.

It's probably not fair of me to answer as I know your thought processes too well & we've probably both just read Katie Roiphe's Uncommon Arrangements. Bertrand's sister-in-law was Elizabeth Von Arnim & her cousin was Katherine Mansfield & KM & her husband spent some time living with DHL & Frieda in Cornwall during WWI.

Sorry, just joking because I can't get it :-)
I knew KM would be part of the answer but that was as far as I got.
