I've only got one more Maggie O'Farrell book left to read now, so I'm torturing myself by saving it in the hope that she'll get a move on a write another one soon!
I also like Anne Tyler and I see that you have read some of hers, too, Paula. Have also read one Jodi Picoult, which I enjoyed, and have another to read. She may become a favourite. I've almost finished Half of a Yellow Sun, but won't comment on that as I see it's the Eyes Down book and don't want to spoil it for those still reading it.
Also enjoy Sebastian Faulkes, especially Human Traces and have Birdsong to read. And Marian Keyes always has me giggling, which can't be bad on a dreary day! I particularly like Rachel's Holiday.
But my all time favourite author (well, at the moment at least!) is Ian McEwan. I think his style is just perfection, his stories are intelligent and believable and I swear that I've met some of his characters! I loved Saturday and Atonement in particular and see that the latter has been made into a film. Not sure if I'll go to see it as I'll be very, very cross if they've got it wrong!
Would love to know what others think of my favourites and also any recommendations - I've only got 25 books left to read in my own personal library and couldn't bear to run out!
Paula, I've seen your other message about prioritising and leaving the housework - couldn't agree more! Weather here in the southwest has been wet and miserable today, so I've had a "duvet day" - the dust will still be there tomorrow!
