Ian, Alan has had serious email problems but I am hoping he will be with us in a day or so. I picked up the same book today so will be interested to know what you think of it if you read it before I do. As for the glimmer twins, I wonder which one is me? Not sure I really want to be either of them. And Doris Lessing was truly dreadful. I may go back to her at some point, but an hour or so of reading did not encourage me to continue. -----Original Message----- From: ebooktalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ebooktalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Macrae Sent: 15 June 2013 18:03 To: ebooktalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ebooktalk] NEXT READ: SMALL COINCIDENCE My next read is now waiting on my Kindle app, bought today, another 99p bargain. It's called Multiple Wounds and the author shares their name with a list member. those of you with long memories might recall that I occasionally, mischievously, affectionately and not without irony refer to our list owner and his brother as The Glimmer Twins, the name given by the press to Mick Jagger and keith Richards. Well, the author of my next book is Alan Russell. I've previously read another by him called Shame which is about a young man who has to live with the baggage of his father's career as a serial killer. By the way, I'm wondering whether Dave has yet started The golden Notebook.
