Re: What book are you reading now?

Saturday by Ian McEwan .... for the second time.

I've read most of his, and most of those I've read more than once. Some have been made into very good movies too. The book is always better of course.

The only film I have ever watched that is better than the book was one of his, "Atonement". The book was awful.

I like them both -book & film- for different reasons.

But my favourite part of both is events the first day, the rich kids arriving at the big house, the housekeeper's son becoming one of them them then getting blamed for what he didn't do.

That was followed by some superb Dunkirk action in the film, something that kinda passed my by in the book.

Actually counting those I can see 57, but there are a lot more behind those too. I have read every single one, some more than once.
