On the other hand I have recently read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night and, yes it was excellent - I sort of started reading it with my detective story reading head on - which actually made it more entertaining because there is a spoofy sort of element in there as well.

Today I have been discussing my least favourite author and books. So here is my nomination. Portrait of a Lady - Henry James - what is it about please? It seems so d*mn obvious to me what is going to happen - & it all happens so slowly. Awful -struggled to the end in the hope that something would happen to surprise me and show some subtlety, shed a new light on human nature etc etc - and nope - nothing did! vowed never to read Henry James again – and I haven’t!
