Hi Supergran
No I don't have a house in the Bahamas, just a two week timeshare. We go every June. It is very nice but I don't think I could afford a house.

Yup I remember the bread strikes. Long time ago. More recently (Just:smile2:) my daughter gave my husband a bread maker for his Christmas.

I might just get another one.

I read The Book of Dave earlier in the year and posted about it on my BCF blog. It was certainly bit ...different:) The novella you mention sounds a bit like an April Fools joke, but then I suppose that is just what Mr Self's writiing is like .

I think you have summed it up very well Andrea.

Hello Puma. Welcome to the Forum. Did you enjoy 'On Chesil Beach'? It was the first McEwan I had read and I loved it.

I hesitate to bring up the subject of chick-lit again but I think this is chick-lit for the older woman. Although I cannot say that I identified with Marie in the book, she was of a similar age to me and she had just become a grandmother for the first time.
