Greetings all, long time no see! My CPU crashed as per it's annual or bi-annual ordeal and i lost all my bookmarks. Took a wee bit of 'splorin bit i've re-found the site and i'm happily back.
So, with all of this, i am wondering, what is it you might be reading right now? Always keeping my eyes open for a solid read.
Here's what i'm flippin through....
NICE WORk by David Lodge. I found it cheap and they compared the writer to Updike and Roth. So far, so good. Here's a blip from WIKi about it...
The book describes encounters between Robyn Penrose, a feminist university teacher specialising in the industrial novel and women's writing, and Vic Wilcox, the manager of an engineering firm. The relationship that develops between the unlikely pair reveals the weaknesses in each character. Robyn's academic position is precarious because of budget cuts. Vic has to deal with industrial politics at his firm.
I also just finished This Side of Paradise by F.Scott Fitzgerald and i liked it a whole bunch. That man could absolutely write the hell out of a book the way BE can sing a song.
Anyway...hope everyone is well!
