My dad has also given up on Blackmoor. He says it depicts working people as stupid. I can't disagree.

I have however started reading Something Wicked This Way Comes. For those who've followed the saga but not read the comments, no, the 50p copy did not magically turn up. My dear husband bought me a new copy from Waterstones. So kind! Normally of course that would guarantee we'd be showered with every copy of SWTWC ever lost, but strangely this has not happened. Maybe I did leave it in the taxi after all.

It's funny that SWTWC has an opening line so iconic that I knew what it'd be, yet I'm sure I've never read the book before. I've seen the film, long time back now. Jason Robards? Maybe. Or is it still the opening line when there's a prologue? And a prologue as pointless as prologues tend to be, too. Let's brush it under the carpet and forget all about it. There. That's better.

Am enjoying the book muchly. Makes a bloody change.
