I may be the only person alive who didn't watch the recent miniseries but...I CANNOT put this book down. It's making me want to re-read GE AND David Copperfield, and perhaps even have another go at Hard Times. (Ashamed to say I couldn't do it last time I tried.)<BR/><BR/>I feel quite gypped that I have to earn a living when I could be finding out how all the strands will be drawn together.

Coetzee review in to the Australian on time. <BR/><BR/>I'd not got around to reading him and it energised me to go out and get all his books from the library. So far I'm enjoying him.<BR/><BR/>Re MSM writing and blogs. A quick squiz at this post says yes there does seem to be a different tone. <BR/><BR/>I think it works - because of your intro. Without the intro it might jar a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17433936.post-43725930448747454412007-09-10T17:19:00.000+09:302007-09-10T17:19:00.000+09:30Oh, Saturday i loved.

I can't say how pleased I am at the Booker nomination and all the steam that that's now generating.Miscellaneous-Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02553107673036472909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17433936.post-60872318403242714282007-09-10T14:48:00.000+09:302007-09-10T14:48:00.000+09:30If you already know GE and Jack Maggs then Mr Pip ...If you already know GE and Jack Maggs then Mr Pip will be a really rich read for you. I love your reason for not reading McEwan -- I know exactly what you mean, though of course that self-revelation thing is one of the signs of an exceptional fiction writer. Saturday was really brilliant -- haven't yet read On Chesil Beach though.Kerryn Goldsworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270814460793882309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17433936.post-54622549808205619602007-09-10T14:44:00.000+09:302007-09-10T14:44:00.000+09:30Reading your review is as good as reading the book...Reading your review is as good as reading the book, I do declare. Splendid.<BR/><BR/>I am racing out to get Mister Pip. I loved both G. E and Jack Maggs, I read GE so may times that when I saw the BBC version of it I was astonished to see how much of my own visual imagining was realised. It was like watching your own thoughts. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I wonder if it will win?<BR/><BR/>(I am trying not to read the ian mcewan one because I usually have some awful self revelation after i read his books.)fifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946945635726214503noreply@blogger.com
