The little girl and the cigarette

by Benoit Duteurtre
A short satire sending up some of the lunacy in our current society's thinking. As with all good satire it is just inches between reality and the absurd. Being French it ends with a suitably dark twist. Excellent 9/10

David Copperfield

by Charles Dickens
As ever with Dickens a great cast of wonderful characters from the glorious Betsy Trotwood to the outrageous Mr Micawber. The only parts I found tedious were the Dora passages. The rest is a great read with some very comic writing indeed. 9/10
