altarielI decided to ease up and read Three Men in a Boat. (Because I want to read Connie Willis' To Say Nothing of the Dog next.)
It's bloody funny.

although still have several DVDs of yours to watch yet!
No problem: it's nowhere near as many as *I* still have to watch. ;-)

Have you read 'Diary of a Nobody'?

Date: 2003-06-04 02:39 am (UTC)Everyone raves about Connie Willis, and I can't understand why I never heard of her or picked up anything by her before!

Date: 2003-06-04 10:55 am (UTC)Those three I bought in the U.S. a couple of years ago. It isn't that easy to get hold of her books in the U.K. (not that I've checked Amazon for them recently). Shops only seemed to stock 'The Doomsday Book'. That might be why you'd not come across her much.
I'll be eagerly awaiting your thoughts on Passage.
Oh, and I'm building up a collection of books for reading swapsies.
