Had never heard of this author before. A nice read contemplating a man's approach to older age, decisions he makes and the changes in his life. This is the kind of book you pick up at a book sale, enjoy and forget easily.
This is a funny take on the diary of a wimpy kid books. Enjoyable silly read.
This was a re-read. Love this book, funny story with Sam Vimes et al.
Eight short stories all centred around the same stories, intertwined but not linked explicitly. Not cheerful, but intense and interesting, these stories see different aspects of the same world through the eyes of different people from different parts of society.
Another re-read, this is Sue Townsend, a staunch left winger, expressing her concerns and poking fun at 'new labour' and the machine that surrounded the last government.
Captivating story about an immigrant couple adjusting to Canada and more importantly to one another. This book is not your typical clichéd fodder from the Indian sub continent - it is instead a well written, interesting and unusual story.
This was a strange book about the end of Thatcherism and the intertwined lives of a group of South London middle classes. The characters are quite shallow but it is interesting and keeps you captivated. Being a south Londoner its always good to read about books that reference your area!
