Mandy and Alison, Sorry, I meant to reply to both of you several days ago. Yes, Alison, "Streetcat" is written by the guy you saw on TV. It's about so much more than the cat, it's about a guy who was withdrawing from drugs, busking on the streets, who, motivated by having a cat to care for, pulled himself up by his bootstraps and dragged himself, and the cat, out of the gutter. It's a lovely, undemanding read, but not too fluffy either. Highly recommended! And that's from a non-cat lover.

The cat hangs around his neck and was the saving of him when he reached rock bottom? I loved the show War Horse and then ordered the book, which I too read in a matter of a couple of days.

Recently, I read "A Streetcat Named Bob" in about six hours, but then again, that's also a shortish book and is fairly easy reading.

I did read a whole book in one day last month, but that's cheating a bit as it was quite a short book and only took me about 4 or 5 hours to read. I don't do that very often though, that might be the first time.

When I was at You And Yours, I had to read a book on the history of of Ikea. The author sent it to me in the post. I scanned it that evening and without going through the night finished reading it around 11 the following morning. > No virus found in this message.
