Have also recently re-read the brilliant “The Memory of Running”. I love the story of how Smithy finally begins his transformation so much…

“When did I become so turned in on myself that I swallow feelings like fast food and everything tastes the same salty way?”

Also read the second book in the Oryx and Crake trilogy by Margaret Atwood and just wasn’t impressed. The Year of the Flood is the story of when mankind is wiped out by a super virus that floods over the planet but the characters were just… bleagh.

It did have some good passages though…

“Beauty is only skin deep, she thought. But why did they always say only?”
