Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

This is not just fiction, this is everything. Psychology, philosophy, reference, art, gardening, poetry... You can amass quite a lot over a lifetime, and I don't often get rid of books.

Finished the 2nd Dublin Murder Squad last night. I thought it stretched credibility a little bit more than the 1st one but it was still a cracking read. I wonder if the author was influenced by The Secret History as it reminded me of that occasionally.

I'm now having another go at The Plague. I decided to skim read the bit I've already read and make a note of the names as I was getting v. confused.

I don't like it either, Linds, but I do it.

Don't like calling children kids, either.

Happy with both "kids" and "uni" as words.

Started Virgin Suicides yesterday (whilst still reading my latest British Library Crime Classic).
