June _____ From: ebooktalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ebooktalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shell Sent: 11 October 2012 09:18 To: ebooktalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ebooktalk] Re: [ebooktalk]Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel I've looked at a few Sherlock Holmes spin off books, but I'm ashamed to admit that I've never read any of the originals, which is quite shameful for a mystery fan. I keep promising myself that I will remedy this before reading any of the modern books, or some of the point will be lost on me.
