Hmm!  I'm not sure that I am in a quirky frame of mind at the moment, Ian, I 
might keep that one in reserve for future reading.  I'd forgotten about her 
latest novel, though I had heard quite a lot about it.  That might be an easier 
read.

  I started this the other day Trish but found it's narrative style rather too 
quirky.  I'm sure I will go back to it when I'm in a rather more quirky frame 
of mind.  In the meantime, her latest novel about the Pendle witches (title 
escapes me) is said to be very good.

    Has anyone read "Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal"?  I have mixed 
feelings about Jeanette Winterson, fascinating and clearly very clever as she 
is.  I loved "Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit", and have enjoyed some of her 
short stories, but other books I've tried have been too obscure for me.  I 
wondered if the autobiography is worth reading?  Any thoughts?
    Trish.
