- The Black Prince - Iris Murdoch
- Coming From Behind - Howard Jacobson
- Serious Concerns - Wendy Cope
- Sleeping Murder - Agatha Christie
My favourite book from my childhood was ...
- Enid Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree and Secret Seven books, and E.W. Hildick's
McGurk Mysteries.
The last thing I read before answering these questions was ...
- The Sweet Sickness, a novel by Patricia Highsmith.
My favourite place to read would be ...
- In the Jacuzzi at my health club.
If I could only read one last thing in my life it would be ...
- I would read Devil Take the Blue-Tailed Fly by John Franklin Bardin. He's
a fantastic writer, one of my faves, and I've got a trilogy of his novels.
Devil Take the Blue-Tailed Fly is the third, and the only one I haven't yet
read.
