I saw the movie years ago and thought it was an intriguing idea. So might give that one a go. What makes it your favourite ever book, Nora? Do tell...<br /><br />At present I seem to have acquired an unfortunate habit of trying out new novels which turn out to be a load of old cobblers (in spite of all the fawning comments by the critics). A recent case was "The Time-Traveller's Wife" - arty-farty tosh and not even very exciting. And I recently started "On Beauty" by Zadie Smith and gave up on that before I even finished - a self-involved and irritating group of characters and not even very funny! <br /><br />Personal favourite authors of mine are Armistead Maupin, Irvine Welsh, Meera Syall and Andrea Newman to name a few...quite a mixed bag really.Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.com
