'The law of diminishing returns with Alan Partridge - this is the third book now and after the incredibly funny autobiography and the very funny nomad, they're running low on ideas a little. Apparently the 'From The Oasthouse' podcast is very funny. Asterix is also a shadow of its former self, and still has Goscinny & Uderzo's name on the front even though it's now written and illustrated by different people. Have to buy and read each new one of course, but it's not the same. In between, 'On The Black Hill' was read on our half-term holiday in Wales and I loved it. It's the story of a Welsh faming community with that strange mix of baptist hellfire and pagan superstition which was just perfect for the cottage we stayed in. Helen couldn't come, so it was just me and the kids. there was a fair bit of bickering, but we got out for lots of walks and they seemed to enjoy it.
