I'm ploughing through reams of stuff on William Hogarth for my big context essay. This isn't really work, as I'm as obsessed with London as he was. I get to peruse beautiful old maps, tracking his movements as he wandered through the city, and cross referencing against the rather less beautiful modern A - Z. Went to London in the summer for the first time in years, and was impressed with how good it looks now.
Wouldn't want to live there, though.
