What a brilliant observation. Anything that represents the opposite of this sounds good to me. Though I'm a little unnerved by what Kristina describes as TJ's "blunt truthfulness". I'll just have to give Jansson I try and make up my own mind. I'm not sure when I will get round to it though, as I keep finding so many great suggestions on blogs like this. For one thing, my copy of Miss Hargreaves awaits, but it's such a fine looking paperback that I didn't want to risk damaging it by taking it with me on my daily commute.David Nolan (David73277)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16898875181095358216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-78895901144561903802009-09-24T12:34:05.601+01:002009-09-24T12:34:05.601+01:00Truth always trumps etiquette when push comes to s...Truth always trumps etiquette when push comes to shove I hope!

But then re-reading her work later, I came to wholly appreciate and admire her blunt truthfulness. Really looking forward to this one.<br /><br />K xkristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892467118097087057noreply@blogger.com
