Booker winner. Longer sentences than Alcatraz
Just had a look inside 'The Melancholy of Resistance', this year's winner. Find it hard to breathe till I get to a full stop. I'm not breathing very often.

I enjoyed the Dentist one, to Rise Again at a Decent Hour, We are all Completely Beside Ourselves, The Narrow Road to the Deep North, that won, was FABULOUS!
