Shades of Grey - will not be going there. So now thinking what next. Impress me, writers out there.janestheonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617250693471034197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932765464128103640.post-5154920388470836992012-07-30T01:01:19.953+02:002012-07-30T01:01:19.953+02:00Haven't read the last two or three -- the espi...Haven't read the last two or three -- the espionage one was the last ( female double agent; Nazis etc ) and that was very disappointing.<br /><br />Booker longlist not inspiring.<br />Hate Will Self - found Nicola Barker's Darklands virtually incomprehensible and what I've skim read of Yips in a bookshop doesn't appeal. I am now taking a plunge backwards - into the world of Elizabeth Taylor ( the writer) who is up for a centenary and I've also ordered some Ivy Compton Burnett and JB Prietsly ( Angel Paving; When we are Married) from Amazon. Arriving tomorrow, so quite excited.On the 'new' front, Edna O'Brien has an autobiog out later this year which will be a pre-order for me. And Jeanette Winterson has one coming out about witchraft. Emma Donohughe is worth it - not 'Room' but try 'The Sealed Letter'. And am looking forward to starting the new biog of Henry 7th, 'The Winter King'. Shades of Grey not on my list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
