there is a quite cool scheme in bristol currently: the great reading adventure. it is in its third year and the idea is that lots of people read the same book over a couple of months. the libraries get lots of copies in and so forth (and it becomes a topic of conversation). this year its a book by helen dunmore (a local author) called 'the siege'. it would not normally be my first choice, but i'm enjoying it. any one else read it?
