"His wife ignored him."

Last night in the pub this page had me laughing out loud. Unusually, I still found it funny after I sobered up. It should be required reading with Valentines just around the corner...

What's the name of this book?

Fools of Fortune, by William Trevor. Everyone in my book club enjoyed it a lot.

Saw this a few days ago, whilst looking for something else

Wonder if casting, let alone cost, held it up??

Interesting, although I think a film or TV programme of a book you have read can be a disappointment. The characters and scenes painted in your mind can be destroyed. A bit like asking a neighbour to decorate a room for you and the only guidance you give is the belongings that will be in the room.

Perhaps that's why 'Going Postal' worked for me, as it's one of the few I've not read
I did enjoy Charles Dance, as Havelock Vetinari, & that Swedish(?) actress as Angua

Finished Fool Moon - a solid, PI tale with a supernatural twist.

Moved on to The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, which is available for free from Project Gutenberg.

I am about half way through David Copperfield. Don't tell me the ending.

"Mother of Eden" by Chris Beckett. It is the sequel to the stunning "Dark Eden" - heartily recommended

Just finished Rather be the Devil, not sure what Ian Rankin is going to do when Rebus dies and he cant bring him back.

Dipping in & out of this (from Rothwell Library), as part of an ongoing Great North Road project, it covers 'feeder roads' like the A63 & A64

Just finished I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes, an absolute cracker of a book. Ideal for those who enjoy a fast-paced page-turning thriller/espionage story.

What makes it even more outstanding is that it's the author's debut book.

10/10

Yes. I really enjoyed this book, although it does seem to polarise opinion.

He has a background of screen writing for some fairly major films.

It looks like he's really struggling with his 'difficult second book' as it keeps getting delayed.
