Columba Mar 2021 5:42pm, 28 Mar 2021 20,964 posts	Quote Pin Columba Finished Line of Beauty. Anybody want my copy? - I realise you've probably either got one already or have decided against reading it, but just thought I'd ask.
Diogenes Mar 2021 7:49am, 29 Mar 2021 58,772 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes I’m afraid I’m giving up on TLOB, I’ve tried to get through it but it’s not happening. Maybe it’s just not the right time for me to be reading this. I know a lot of people on the reviews have been saying that the 80s say it was a terrible era but I became a teenager 1980 and came of age during the decade: I have fond memories of both the good and bad things, especially coming out of the economic doldrums of the Seventies. This is the second Hollinghurst I’ve tried to read and my second fail. I shan’t vote as I don’t feel like I have read enough to judge.
McGoohan Mar 2021 7:54am, 29 Mar 2021 49,049 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan Ahem. Cards on the table time - I'm exactly the same as Dio. Couldn't get into it at all. Also didn't read enough to vote. My copy went straight back to the library after two days. In fact - shock twist - I was hoping Dio would get my copy! I left a note in there. Now someone else has got to page 100 and found 'Hello Dio' and thought WTF? Or else it fell out somewhere....

LindsD Mar 2021 8:44am, 29 Mar 2021 46,007 posts	Quote Pin LindsD I have so much to read, but nothing that grabs me at the moment. But yes, I actually looked at NA yesterday.
Diogenes Mar 2021 8:48am, 29 Mar 2021 58,773 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes I think the Redhill copy was still out with you when mine arrived, but I’ll double-check.
McGoohan Mar 2021 8:49am, 29 Mar 2021 49,053 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan It might not be page 100. It could be anywhere Probably under a librarian's shoe...
Diogenes Mar 2021 8:53am, 29 Mar 2021 58,774 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes You’re just trying to trick me into reading further.
Serendippily Mar 2021 8:58am, 29 Mar 2021 21,404 posts	Quote Pin Serendippily I enjoyed the latter part of the book if it helps
