I don't think I would get on very well with Rebus if he were real, and I would certainly prefer to stay out of the way of the crooks he encounters, nevertheless I've long enjoyed this series. I think it might have something to do with the author's intelligent voice, perhaps combined with the Edinburgh setting.David Nolan (David73277)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16898875181095358216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-33042030518798618982011-03-30T19:36:59.954+01:002011-03-30T19:36:59.954+01:00I'm really enjoying these posts - and lots of ...I'm really enjoying these posts - and lots of the books mentioned have "sent me off down Memory Lane." :) My brother had a Richard Scarry book that was completely worn out. And I too, appreciated Victoria's mother - there've been quite a few books that I've told my kids to "wait" on. It makes getting to them later twice the fun when they can actually appreciate them. Thanks again, Simon, for doing this.Susan in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550766549670690646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-4702300580738797682011-03-30T18:38:29.613+01:002011-03-30T18:38:29.613+01:00Lovely idea Simon--I'm just catching up now. ...Lovely idea Simon--I'm just catching up now.

I'll be checking out The Reader and litlove has also reminded me that I need to go back and read some more Duras!

I wonder how many mothers 'lose' books for a season and then miraculously rediscover them when their child is old enough to read without adverse effects. It's a ploy I was once guilty of - oops! That's given the game away!
