So finished A Rage in Harlem last night,its made me a fan! Can't wait till later in the year then the other titles are published. Next book, Fahrenheit 451..re-reading...can't really remember much fron the first time,but still remember the filn quiet vividly. Non fiction or a kids book next I think...also going to buy more books published by tara books,so beautiful!

So I blog now...who knew! Just reading A Rage in Harlem..really enjoying it so far,the language and pace are superb. Probably the best character names I've ever came across...sister of mercy being my favourite. Also still amazed at Harris Burdick...one of the most original and just plan puzzling books ever,I keep going back to it again and again! Now more reading then bed me thinks..ttfn
