OK: judging by the comments on my last post, you don't like Sky as much as I do. Fair enough. Anyway there'll be no blogs and no telly for the next two weeks while I'm away on holiday. I'll be on a books-only diet.

I'm packing C, 's follow up to his excellent novel Remainder and 's Room - both of which are on this year's . Plus . And a couple of books I missed last year: Legend of a Suicide by and then to counter that, about his time hanging out with, and sponging from, those inhabiting the 1990s world of the Young British Artists.

After which I will be fit and ready for the all the festivals that erupt in Edinburgh throughout August.
