Out came a thought and then another...

One has read several reviews of Cormac McCarthy's The Road (here's the last read). And the book gathers plaudits, everywhere. One thinks one must read it.

Lotus Reads recommends Lust in Translation. She's introduced the book really well. Way to go lady!

I've stayed away from mentioning Chandramohan and the arty protests that have followed the issue (what my ex-boss loved to call, the currently hot potato). Yet I must point you to thinking beyond criticism, which starts with the aforesaid issue and then moves on to question the larger compulsion, that most of us have, of holding the I'm right placard from the cosiness of the armchair.

Yet another book list, so we can't resist mentioning it. The Waterstone's next generation of superstars (via). Jon McGregor's on it. We must mention how good So Many Ways to Begin was, but we never got around to finishing it (slipped library deadline by a mile and paid up in a hurry). Yet we began it well enough, it began well enough.
