With my wife in bed, let us
say indisposed, I had the run of the house for much of the day, so between
chores I was able to finish off the blockbusting thriller “I am Pilgrim”, one
of the big fat books (in fact probably the fattest at 900 pages) on the shelves
that I have promised myself to read in 2016; I have already made a start on
Nelson Mandela’s autobiography and the next of Trollope’s Palliser novels, to
be followed in due course by biggies from Kate Atkinson, Stephen King, Zadie
Smith, David Mitchell, Donna Tartt and Margaret Atwood – and who knows I could
then get back to Stig Larsson’s Millennium trilogy or even pick up the first
Game of Thrones volume and buy a new doorstop instead.
