The Guardian published top 10 book lists that three authors think children should have read by the time they leave school.

I’ve read most of the books in JK Rowling’s and Philip Pullman’s lists, and only two (plus watching the play of a third) of Andrew Motion’s list. His looks very intellectual to me.

Easter Holiday

Great excitement, as I’ve booked us a holiday in Turkey over Easter. We’re going to stay in a hotel that David Campbell recommended, and fly from Gatwick to Dalaman. It’s just about on the beach, and in April Turkey should be pretty warm, so I expect we’ll spend quite a lot of time not doing very much. Then in the summer we’re going to Florence with Helen and David. So plenty of holidays this year.

It’s been so cold today that it makes the idea of a warm holiday even more enticing. I’ve been feeling a bit run down today, so didn’t do anything but doze in a hot bath this afternoon.
