I read the first couple of books in the Masters of Rome series. I really enjoyed them. I might pick them up to read again.

Wow, there should be controversy over that.

I liked some of the Twitter responses though.

I'm currently reading (and liking quite a lot!) The First Man in Rome, first book in the Masters of Rome series. I'm so shocked to hear that she has passed.

I've also enjoyed reading The Thorn Birds and Morgan's Run.

Re the article in the Australian newspaper .... mmmm .... my opinion matches that of Ruth Callaghan: 'Despite being a small-minded, insular twerp, he found employment as a small-minded insular obituary writing twerp #myozobituary'

I thought McCullough was a wonderful personality, vibrant, out there and into it!!

Oh you mean there are some people in the world who don't see a personality? Oh dear .... none so blind ....
