Istarted "Oscar and Lucinda" many years ago. I think I was going on holiday
or something, and was finding it very slow anyway, so I gave up on it. I had
"The Kelly Gang" from the local library a while ago, but also abandonned that,
partly because I heard Peter Carey interviewed on the radio and he admitted
that Ned Kelly didn't have a daughter, and also because I got bored with the
style of his writing.

Clare, I also had to give up on Jack Maggs and another one he wrote, which I
forget now. I did, however, really enjoy the Kelly Gang, which I borrowed from
Calibre many years ago on cassette.
I find him quite hard going though.
