I guess I missed this in May ggw - yeah, only ok -I thought the premise for the book was great but the characters seemed a little thinly drawn and I found the whole pedophile subplot a bit over the top

I really enjoyed Bad Haircut and The Wishbones. But then again, I'm a Northern Jersey boy like Perrotta.

In keeping with the Booker Prize theme, I just finished Possession by AS Byatt. Good - but not great.
I *love*
Possession…
I'm about to start this, though I hear it's incredibly dense and technical:

Just finished this, which was 'lighter' than I thought it would be…truly a 'summer' read:

Not a biography as much as a humorous analysis of why Morrissey is the way he is.

Is it a good read, or overly british rag/music magazine profile-y (does that make sense?)

I think it's pretty good. It's definitely very British, but not in a tell-all-tabloid kinda way.
