You are truly a community service to the blogosphere, and the library collection folk must adore you too.<BR/><BR/>I went bookshop Christmas shopping last night with a friend and bought 'The Inheritance of Loss', the new Alan Bennett 'Four Stories', the new Shakespeare thing about who was the real Shakespeare (the one written by a serious Sh. scholar) and 'The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid'. Now I have to decide whether I hoard them all myself or give them to Mr Soup so I get to keep them in the house, or reluctantly give some to my parents as gifts. Also saw 13th Tale and the Ukrainian tractors book and thought of you. Mr Soup is reading 'Snow' right now.<BR/><BR/>There. I didn't help you a bit with recommendations, did I? Just reiterated every book you mentioned. I am so useful.<BR/><BR/>(Ok, here's an attempt. Tell them to add Eucalyptus and The Secret River to the list. Now I feel better).Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837796439737091649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1165624755255789452006-12-08T19:39:00.000-05:002006-12-08T19:39:00.000-05:00Hi BB, I just finished "The Emperor's Children."
