I’m towards the end of Raise High…, which I’ve really enjoyed. I’ve been wanting to re-read The Catcher in the Rye for years but never got hold of a copy. I was very lucky in that I was allowed to read what I liked mostly, though I remember my mum telling me I wouldn’t understand ‘the Stud’ when I was 10, but I read it anyway – I didn’t really understand it, but don’t tell her I told you.

My daughter introduced me to reading Stephen King and I was surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed his books. I was so upset by the opening pages of Carrie! The Green Mile must be my favourite (Sorry if the title’s not right I’ve only read the French version)

I finished by thinking that Mr Saliger would have probably made a good blogger.
