Couple which are at opposite ends of the spectrum:

The Mighty Walzer - Howard Jacobsen; hilarious and the best 'sporting' novel ever (it's about table tennis)
Feast of The Goat - Mario Vargas Llosa; very dark indeed but compelling

Texting seems utterly embeddedin the culture for anyone under 30 in the uk.

Can't remember the last time I saw a teenager who wasn't texting.

recently I took someone on in a job role and, during their induction ... they were texting!!!

This kind of stuff is on the increase and pretty widespread already.

few years back I'd always look around for reviews on just about anything I was looking to buy. These days I discount almost all of them except if they're on one site that I trust.
