ooh, forgot to report on the Updike.
Depressing, as tatty viking said, but so well written I'll go and read some more of his I think. Much better than some similar things I've read recently- I mean of the same era, notably Revolutionary Road (Richard Yates) and Americana (Don Delillo) which went right over my head.
I re-read some Petit Nicolas (any other francophiles love the children's stories?) and went to buy How to Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran today because everyone seems unable to stop talking about it (or everyone in the Observer yesterday anyway).
But,
it was £11.99! For a paperback! A paperback novel! For £11.99!
i don't know much about how inflation works but I think this is quite a jump, no?
It'd better be bloody good.
