Don't you just hate reading the 'Books I Enjoyed Most' pieces in the
weekend papers at this time of year? All these people that we'd like to
be like, apparently. Naming books you've never heard of. Or want to hear
of.
I finally tore my paper into little pieces when Jeffrey Archer spoke
warmly of a 16 volume Art History set for UKP 1500. Give me strength.
Any day now we could be asked obliquely about prezzies. So I'd like to
hear what fellow G-Pukers enjoyed reading this year. Any offers?
My favourites were anything and everything by Bill Bryson.
