And I didn't even resort to the handy bottle of paracetamol on my desk - although the meniscus in the Glenfiddich is somewhat lower than it was.
Well, what can I say? Not a lot of humour, although I think this is quite normal for MB. Thought provoking? Yes, as always. Literary? Mostly except for The Lighthouse, but then I have never received a satisfactory definition of literary from any of the writers I know. What did I enjoy? Lighthouse, Evening Mists. What did I have to work hard at? Umbrella, Narcopolis. My personal choice? Lighthouse. What I think will win? Evening Mists. And I have to admit, I think the writing is absolutely stunning.
Now time for Jack Kerouac and my reading group . . .
