Must be an age thing 😉 Plus I'm in a hospital waiting room to get my bandages changed, and annoyingly finished my book (Gentleman of Moscow - it's a belter- highly recomended) so thought I'd have a prod - see if I can get anything out of you.

My mum said exactly the same, but I loved it from the off - just really liked the main character. I would - just because it's a really interesting way to tell the story of Russia in a fiction novel. But if you're not feeling the central character it'll be a real slog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t bother this time. unless there’s an option to join the Galactic Federation of Planets If we do have another vote, the younger people can have their say as Crawley wants. I’ve said before that Brexit created an ageist angst that still prevails. This shows that older people were more likely to vote than younger 64% to 90% (I was in neither category)😊 https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/09/young-people-referendum-turnout-brexit-twice-as-high The report also corrected original misreported stats. If the younger voters had come out in the same numbers as the older, we may not be where we are now. In fact, they are percentages of age groups not numbers. I’d guess there are more people in the younger and above groups than the younger. It still goes on. At the local council elections, 2/3 of voters didn’t bother. I would guess from people I’ve spoken to that those that did were older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're making a film of it, Ewan MacGregor is in it. They filmed a bit in Bolton the other month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to blag my mother into giving it another go! Alongside that book on Northern Ireland I've just started Deamon Copperhead a fiction about the opioid crisis in the rust belt. It's based on David Copperfield- supposed to be a great read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
