That book got the seal of approval from Richard And Judy's Book Club.

Mrs Durutti also lobes that book but it looks like a bit of a girl's read...
I recommend a truly fantastic book that all genders will enjoy. It is Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. It is in everyway wonderful and gets the highest possible Durutti approval rating.
Did you know that Kennedy O'Toole bloke who wrote A Confederacy of Dunces actually killed himself because the book didn't find a publisher after he wrote it? Then, once he was cold in the ground it was belatedly recognized as a work of dark comedic genius. Typical.

Patience is the lesson we should take away from Mr O'Toole's sad demise. Patience and self-belief.
Like Phil Collins' mama said: "You can't hurry love, no you just have to wait. She said love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take."
How true.

Having never seen the movie, I can comment on it, but everyone should Breakfast at Tiffany's. However my new book is Sylvia Plath's Letters Home, which is one of my faveorites.
