You have been the most fervent supporter of A Fine Balance in the blogging world that I know of, I think, and it has been on my wishlist for the longest time. As for the Time Traveler's Wife. You know, I think that was the book I read just after Pride and Prejudice? I was quite blown away by it. I wonder how it holds up on reread?<br /><br />It was also very nice to get to know John. He is new to me, although I have heard his name repeatedly in the blogging world.Irishttp://irisonbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-116814157375699772012-10-30T20:04:11.260+00:002012-10-30T20:04:11.260+00:00I agree with Geranium Cat - it is nice to see that...I agree with Geranium Cat - it is nice to see that a book I love has given pleasure to others, and then I think well, if they liked that maybe I will like books they recommend that I haven't read...

I really enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane (and, without realising it, a trip down Farm Lane!).<br /><br />I should have thought of Jackie when <i>A Fine Balance</i> was mentioned, yes. Silly me. And I am afraid I must disappoint and report that I have no cats and even less baking ability. I am a quiet, kind individual, though - right?!John Selfhttp://theasylum.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-25049935924682191732012-10-29T14:58:10.051+00:002012-10-29T14:58:10.051+00:00Wonderful choices!

I have A Fine Balance sitting on my TBR shelf and I think your review is going to make me add it to my must list for 2013.

I would have got Jackie too, not John though - which reminds me I've been thinking about re-reading Iain Banks's early books - could be a project for 2013. My daughter loved The Gruffalo, Room on the broom, and A Squash & a squeeze by Donaldson & Scheffler when she was a toddler and I'm delighted to see that Scheffler has designed this year's Christmas stamps!Annabel (gaskella)http://gaskella.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-44133830584833040362012-10-29T10:22:07.115+00:002012-10-29T10:22:07.115+00:00I would have got Jackie just from the mention of &...I would have got Jackie just from the mention of 'A Fine Balance' ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546287562521628467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-67254721813723946802012-10-29T08:59:48.526+00:002012-10-29T08:59:48.526+00:00Excellent.
