As for Bossypants, I read it, and while it's okay, it's nothing to write home about. |

I would have liked Fanny & Stella to have won, as it sounds fascinating (so I'll read it anyway), but I'm happy with A Night to Remember. Agreed that it is a topic done to death, but I for one only know about it from the TV programmes and films I've watched - I'm certain there are reams of information I have no clue about, and eyewitness reports will be very interesting to read, IMO.

Truth is, Harry, it may be the best and most definitive book on the Titanic in the history of ever, but the topic just doesn't get my juices going. Now a book about what Jane Austen might have eaten and Charles Dickens might have known on the other hand sounds right up my alley! |

Dickens is much over-rated in my view .
