As I feared. Back to the charity shop for that one.
Yeah - as much as I read I'd agree. Just those occasional flashes of good writing kept me hooked.
Bit as if Annie Proulx re-wrote Revolution Road but very, very badly.

So what do you suggest for a group read? I've got We Are All Made of Glue by that woman who wrote 'A Short History of Tractors in the Ukrainian' waiting - but quite happy to leave it waiting.

The books I read
aren't really good for group reading. But if we're talking fantastic books to recommend, then if you haven't read any Haruki Murakami- anything by him

I have Wild Sheep Chase in the pile by my reading chair. I'll give it a go.
So - next Tuesday then?

Wild Sheep Chase
is the least good of the lot sadly. If you can get your hands on 'Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World' or 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles' or even 'Norweigan Wood' I'll give it a shot

OK - I've just been over to the book shop.
They have nothing in stock, but can get 'Tokyo Blues/ Norweigian Wood' in but not until 20th March. I put my order in.
Meanwhile I'll read Wild Sheep. Sometime later this month we might have something to talk about.
