Just finishing part 2 of the Michael Palin diaries and starting Anna Karenina
I thought the first volume was surprisingly dull; and he was really pre-occupied with money.
I've just read Unspeak by Steven Poole which, paradoxically, demonstrated that there was really no need for him to coin the word 'unspeak' but has lots of decent stuff in it if nothing really original.
And I'm reading some more Simenon; eventually someone on this thread will come along to say they like Simenon too. But then maybe he doesn't fvck (sic) with your head enough.
