    Anyone read a good book lately? I’ve had several – I quite like the new Mark Haddon novel called “A Spot Of Bother” (he also did the brilliant “Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night”) – very Nick Hornbyish, but with some really deep and sympathetic characters. Very much recommended.

    The other book I have enjoyed is “Season of the Witch” by Natasha Mostert. I am not usually into magic and fantasy kind of stuff but a friend bought me the book saying I would like it – and they were right. The witch stuff is quite subtle – no hags and cauldrons – instead its set in the modern day and the world of computer hackers and internet. And there’s a good romantic subplot as well to keep you happy on that front – its all very well put-together. I recommend that one too.

    No, not lately! Last one i read was Simon Cowells autobiography; “I don’t mean to be rude but”.. Beginning was alright, started getting boring though.

    That’s coz it’d sound silly coming to the conclusion that Joseph did it, in the library, with a candlestick. And i aint on about murder. :-…
