Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I thought The Name of The Rose was great too....as for that list earlier...a big fat 0 from me, why waste time trying to read something you know you almost certainly will not enjoy.

Really quite enjoying infinite jest now. Can only bear a few pages at a time and still only 360 pages in but glad I persevered now. I reserve the right to change my mind over the next 360 pages

I just have 2003 and 2004 left and have just ordered my 2003 book
I’m no help for 1983 I’m afraid - the one I ended up reading was awful and I only finished it because i couldn’t face having to find another!
