A Confession

OK. I gave up on the John Pilger. The five or so essays I read were great polemic stuff, but I just kept having a voice in my head saying "but this was published in 1992! Shouldn't you be reading slightly more current political writings?" (If anyone has recommendations on more current stuff, please say below...)

And with that I was sucked back to the Fiction section of the bookshop and one of those oh-so-handy 3 for 2 offers on Sunday and emerged clutching (in reading order) The Right Attitude To Rain by Alexander McCall Smith, The Night Watch by Sarah Waters and Then We Came To The End by Joshua Ferris, which I'm about halfway through.

Reviews to follow.
