I'd never even heard of It's a Battlefield, McG. Not a popular one, presumably.
Thoroughly enjoying The Fountain Overflows. Full of little insights that one can recognize on reading them but would never have been able to put into words oneself. Though at the same time there's something very cold about it; it is giving me an underlying sensation of dread.

Thought I'd get ahead of the game so I've started reading the December book. About 1/3 of the way through already ;-) Out of my comfort zone but enjoying it so far.

Thanks for that, Owlie. Could be very useful.

(Do you suppose one person read all those books this year? Or has The Guardian summarized reviews?)

I finished BTOOT on the train just now. I really enjoyed it and thought it got better and better as it went on. I am a bit of a romantic at heart.

I'm enjoying it but it doesn't make me want to read it, IYSWIM.
