Stephen Fry's 'The Liar'........
Guess what! I found a copy of Stephen Fry's 'The Liar'.
I was browsing through the bargain books shelf in a bookshop, where they keep the damaged and the second hand books, hoping to buy something with the cash I got for my birthday. Imagine my feelings when I came across it! (I'd wanted to read it for sometime.) I just loved reading it. It's one of the few books I liked recently.
I wonder if it's some kind of an autobiography? The protagonist of the story says the exact same things Stephen said in that letter to his younger self. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/apr/30/stephen-fry-letter-gay-rights/print) Plus, for some reason, I kept thinking of Hugh Laurie when I read about Hugo Cartwright and his piano playing. (Though I guess that's not what Mr. Fry intended.)
There, I just needed to squee over it. It's so hard to find books like that here. They only seem to have popular thrillers, Jane Austen novels, Danielle Steele and things like that, in bookshops.
