81.  Innovation -  The History of England Volume VI, Peter Ackroyd (2014)

A prolific writer on England, especially London, this was a good read, bringing back memories of our time in UK and the political and social events and movements of the 20th century.  A last sentence to remember - 'It may be that as the millennium progresses, the English will recover what was once their glory in that most precious and fugitive of instincts: a capacity for awe.' (p.462).
