A book to read

Quick book recommendation here. You must read 'Out Stealing Horses' by Per Petterson. It is about an elderly man living in a remote part of Norway who remembers events which happened in the same area after the second World War. It is wonderfully quiet and spare and thoughtful. The sort of book which it is hard to find at the moment. The sort of book which reminds you why reading and writing are important. After I read it I immediately went out and bought copies for a couple of friends.

Things going on

For me, there are many things going on right now. I've been commissioned to write a play for the Everyman theatre, I've got an article published in You Magazine, I'm having vague conversations with someone about writing something for television (not something I've ever thought of doing before) and also vague conversations about travel articles. Unfortunately the novel isn't really happening right now but I'm about to get back to it.
