Good read. Something for everyone and he comes across really well.
Hogg is the only person in the book he doesn't have a kind word for.

The Karamasov Brothers. Only half way in, but probably as good, if not better than War and Peace.

I'm currently reading restaurant guides for Paris. Anyone with any suggestions for places, I'd appreciate it - as long as it's not silly prices.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Go to Rome instead would be my other suggestion. The best city in continental Europe IMHO.

Probably not a good place to have put this anyway, but since I have, can we leave the suggestion of other places, I'm bloody well booked and going to Paris.
