I've been reading books that are rather out of my usual run. One I quite enjoyed was Patricia Highsmith's The Price of Salt which is a 1950s lesbian road trip novel. I liked the writing. I liked the character development but I really do think that 1950s America must have been a desperately dull place to live

I heard The Mission Song on the radio recently (read, I think, by one of my favourite actors, Paterson Joseph). I enjoyed it very much, though I was slightly thrown at the end because my mind had decided that the song was a detective-novel type clue that had to be cracked.
