Hurro - jeepers, it has been a long time since I wrote that post! And since we last spoke as well...
I was recently told by as sceptical a friend as I am myself that they quite enjoyed The Life of Pi, although the last 20 pages or so got a bit much for them. This is what I expect myself; some friends have started a book club here in Sydney, and I missed the first one, but #2 is going to be this book, so I'm contemplating giving it a quick read and turning up. We'll see!
I think, while I would accept that The Grapes of Wrath is superior, it's still not the kind of book I'm into.
And yes, I too have that Kate Bush song going round my head whenever I'm reminded of the novel - eek! It's not even my fave Kate song by far *heh*
And The Lovely Bones is one of those things which I'm interested in but will probably take me forever to actually get to reading. I have a stack of books in my room requiring reading, plus a shelfful downstairs, and keep on buying more. *sigh*
No doubt see you soonish - we're releasing things in the next couple of months, and we're definitely playing Brisvegas near the end of July (is on the website). Bonzer!
