I think she stopped writing funny books after that. Probably says more about me than the quality of her writing though :) I liked ‘Boating for Beginners’ the most, it’s very funny.

I think I started 'sexing the cherry' but I don't think I got far with it. Personally I wouldn't want to trust her as a value-giver, and not only because of my own attachment to 'Christian mythology'. But I do think her latest book does sound interesting; time as a commodity is a constant theme I have. So if you start with that one, I'll borrow it when you've read it... ;) I read ‘Oranges’ a long time ago, not long after it first came out, and found it too bitter and angry, not surprisingly, I guess.
