I love following this, as it reveals intriguing degrees of overlap (and suggestions for new reading/watching). But of course, there's no indication of whether you enjoyed everything. (Our Book group started on a book by one of your authors and gave up on it - first time in twenty-mumble years...)
ReplyDeleteOooh, do say which it was! Thinks - can't have been GP Taylor because he wasn't writing 20 years ago. (It's questionable whether he is now. [Meow])
