I loved Watership Down.

2 new books for Christmas, "The Book of Iona" and "hygge - the Danish art of happiness". I have read most of hygge intermittently over the last couple of days, and have started "The Confessions of X" while travelling home. By train.

Oh my days. I've got something lined up, and I can hear the pre-emptive groans already...

The good news is it's short.

The predictable and for some less good news is it is indeed sci-fi. And Canadian.

Sorry.

And now we sing the choosinator song:

Greppers, O Greppers, you know what we need
Choosinator choose us something to read
If it's a sci fi try not to enrage us:
please keep it to under a few thousand pages
