Two things: Quantum of Ra finished recently, if you're looking for an excuse to play with it. And I happened across Eye of the Needle in a bin the other month, what a great story. Follett could flat write. Perfect pacing.

Quantum of Ra?

Ithink Follett is still writing, no? I knew he was getting on but he's still with us...?

Wow, it genuinely didn't occur to me that Follett could still be alive, since he captured that era so well. He was actually born post-war. Now that I think about it I believe I read something about a relatively recent book of his the other day.

Quantum of Ra

Ah, right right. I figured it was one of those but was on phone cooking dinner. When I once again get the chance to read for fun, I shall check it out.

Ha, sorry for presumably startling you. That's the book I was reading about, the new one. I haven't read the first two, but I will.
