As I tell my children, you always have to judge a book (that you haven't read yet) by its cover. <br /><br />And you're quite right about the EDL, but they're living in a fantasy world.Duncan Richterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708344766825805406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454161596094447448.post-3313160964480671352011-11-04T10:03:35.120-04:002011-11-04T10:03:35.120-04:00Titles like Unbearable Lightness of Being in Abery...Titles like <i>Unbearable Lightness of Being in Aberystwyth</i>, <i>Don't Cry for Me Aberystwyth</i> and <i>Aberystwyth Mon Amour</i> -- I just have to read them.

Silly joke coming up: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Defence_League" rel="nofollow">These guys</a> do not seem to think that the places where British people live don't matter. (They don't seem like a very humorous bunch either, for that matter.)<br /><br />I'm not particularly fond of mystery stories, but the ones I do like are invariably of the noir-ish sort, and if there is irony and humor in it, better still. So Malcolm Pryce' books seem just like my type. I'll have a look.

But nothing happened. I was fooled, it seems, by the announcement for the live show.
