Seems a while since anyone posted on here. Perhaps now spring is here we are all finding other things to do. :-D |

I decided I wanted something a bit lighter after some of my recent reading and grabbed a Mapp & Lucia book by E F Benson from the Quick Choice shelf at the library. I've never read any of these books before or seen the television programmes. I thought the volume was a bit thick and when I got home I found it was three books bound into one - Queen Lucia, Miss Mapp and Mapp and Lucia. |

I rarely give up but if I do it is because life is too short to waste it on books I don't like. Although I am more likely to skim through them. |

Ann, it goes against the grain with me not to finish a book. I don't know why. Perhaps it goes back to childhood when I devoured books because I didn't have much else to do at home but read. |

Vera 'damning with faint praise'. I don't think that sounds like one for me, given that yous eem to be able to persevere with books that I can barely cope with. :-D |

I've been ploughing through "Music and Silence" by Rose Tremain and found it very hard going. The book is set mostly in Denmark in the 1600s where an English lutenist joins the orchestra at the court of King Christian IV. There are love stories, schemes and plots yet the narrative doesn't seem to go anywhere and the chapters dodge about over a 50 year time period and between Scandinavia, Ireland and England so I was forever having to remind myself that what I was reading about had happened before stuff I had already read. Does that make sense? Some characters were fictional, others had existed, but none of them seemed real to me and they all seemed to be touched by madness to a greater or lesser extent. |

I think we've got Sophie's Secret somewhere upstairs - it was one of the offsprings when they were children. If I'm mistaken, there was a book with a similar name. |
