Fantasy Free

I finished The Passage yesterday - I was trying hard to concentrate on its ending in a noisy optometrist's waiting room , so the book sort of ended with a whimper rather than a bang. I had thought about reading The Gift next but it's set in the fantastic location of Annar, not Australia. And right now I am not in the mood for fantasy. Not a genre I would ever choose to read and not my ideal Australian novel. The Passage was good, so nice to read of a local area, 50 or 60 years ago, before all the development we have today. Anyway, The Gift is not a gift so it can wait (and wait and wait ...)

Instead I will try a bit of dated (?) humour in they're a weird mob. Much better!
