My word, I have just discovered somebody is reading this...well, I suppose that was the point!Anyway, I have been very slack recently, in fact, ever since my OU course finished and I haven't been up here looking for excuses not to study.For my book club we read The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks which I remember reading when it was published twenty years or so ago. I was taken with it then but now it

Lost - I watched the most recent episode on E4 on Sunday and since that is now at least 8 episodes I have seen I can safely pronounce that it's rubbish. Inevitable comparisons can be made with Alias - in the fact that they were created by the same man and are both preposterous - the biggest difference is that there is nobody in Lost (except Terry O’Quinn and Dominic Monaghan) with any charisma

"Frasier: Roz's Krantz and Gouldenstein Are Dead" - a good episode which could have veered into sentimentality since it was partly set in a old people's home. Lois Smith was particularly good as Moira. Since we have been rewatching Frasier on DVD I have noticed just how many jokes were made about Roz's promiscuity by Niles and it's rather tiresome.

The BBC's Listen Again is a boon. I spend my day at work, headphones on, alternating between CDs and radio programmes. I had meant to listen to Gideon Coe on 6 Music on Wednesday to hear Kate Bush's new single but completely forgot but thanks to the internet I was there today waiting with bated breath forwarding fifteen minutes at a time. The single is called King of the Mountain and is a

"Sidetracked" by Henning Mankell - what a disappointment - good reviews on Amazon - recommended by a friend - but - no suspense, no mystery, a rather unbelievable plot, dull meanderings about Wallender's private life. It was a page turner despite being no good - I think I was desperate to get it finished.

"Millions" by Frank Cottrell Boyce - a delightful little story which was very funny in parts. It was cleverly and subtly written (it was never explained why Damian kept asking about a St Maureen but I bet it was his mother's name). The line that Damian was his mother's miracle made me weep. Super story.
