Quick pre-bedtime post: I just wanted to draw attention, for those who enjoy reading and listening, to a couple of podcasts-
- the New Yorker fiction podcast features writers (the likes of Roddy Doyle, Richard Ford, Junot Diaz, Orhan Pamuk) who read aloud a short story from the archives of the New Yorker (the likes of John McGahern, Vladimir Nabokov, John Updike, William Trevor) - something that's resonated with them. Fab mix of reading, discussion, interesting perspectives.
- and of course, there is the BBC's World Book Club, featuring...well, just about everyone, fielding questions from around the world: Umberto Eco, John Irving, Toni Morrison, James Ellroy, Annie Proulx, Edna O'Brien, Armistead Maupin - you name it!
As for me, I'm off to bed, to read in paper form - I have fewer than 200 pages left in Wolf Hall!

Looking forward to the first interview with your good self. Maybe even recorded live from Bushe's just to give it a warm, wintry, local twist?
Ha ha - how scrummy would that be!
