Last evening I was sitting having a nice glass of my usual medicine out in Symondsbury when a young lady offered me a copy of Margaret Atwood's 'Blind Assassin'. Well, it's a long time since a young lady offered me anything so I accepted. At first sight it looks like a dose of Victor Hugo but without the jollity. Anyway I shall give it, what we discerning literary figures would describe as, a good belt. The whole wheeze seems a good idea to me, let's hope that it meets with the success it deserves.

Good luck with spreading the good news about reading. You might want to polish up the look of a slightly crazed literary evangelical, as that might make it harder for the denizens of the Compost Corner to say 'no' to you.
