It's a little too long, but there's something about a book with short chapters that keeps you moving through it at a very fast clip, so it kind of offsets the bits that should have been shortened.<BR/><BR/>Um, if that makes any sense.SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-1158670792290700602006-09-19T08:59:00.000-04:002006-09-19T08:59:00.000-04:00I picked up Haddon's 'A Spot of Bother' from the l...I picked up Haddon's 'A Spot of Bother' from the library yesterday.

I'm tempted to get a Moncrieff translation for comparison purposes because this one is striking me as being a much easier read.<BR/><BR/>Andrew--We've been using this shop for the last few years and they've always done a good job before now. Having the computer go out makes sense for this car--the first (and only) trouble we ever had with it was an electrical issue the first year we got it. We'll see how it goes today when we get the car back.SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-1158637895643013312006-09-18T23:51:00.000-04:002006-09-18T23:51:00.000-04:00Re: the car.
