Fao Svejk.

[Tilly2]

I finished reading the book today. It was overwhelmingly beautiful and thought provoking. I shall treasure it and put it in my favourite books bookcase.

Thank you, once again. :-)

I know I'm being nosy Tilly but what was the book - sounds really good. Sorry to intrude.

Hi is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald, Margo.

[Tilly2]

Here's a review, Margo.

[MargoTester]

Thanks Tilly - not an author I have read, will have to give it a try. I love a good book.

[Tilly2]

Have a look at the review and see if you are interested in it. If you like poetry and birds and the countryside, you might enjoy this book.

[Tilly2]

I'm sure I saw Svejk earlier. Perhaps he's got the grumps because I finished with him. Oh well.

[MargoTester]

He was around earlier on. I have had a look at the review and to be honest I'm not sure it's for me, but it is always good to broaden one's horizons so I may well give it a go. Thanks for all your help.

[Tilly2]

I understand, Margo. That's why I posted the review. It won't be everyones cup of tea. I, on the other hand, loved it from start to finish.

[MargoTester]

:-) have you tried Victoria Hislop -the Thread and theIsland(about leprosy) she has a new one out now called The Sunrise. I really like her books.

[Svejk]

pah,,,,,,,,,,lol, ;o)

[Tilly2]

Margo, I have read, The Island. I enjoyed that. I'm just getting back into reading novels at the moment. I seemed to go of reading for a while but now I'm back on course. I'll look out for The Sunrise. I need a good book to take on holiday with me.

[Tilly2]

Did you hear something then, Margo?

[wolf63]

Is Svejk aka Windy Miller?

[MargoTester]

Indeed I did!

[Tilly2]

I don't think he lives in Camberwick Green, wolf:-)
