I'm enjoying a break from working while I look after our beautiful baby girl and boisterous preschool son and daughter! Love reading, so when the babes are asleep I ignore the mess, and open a good book instead!

My favourite book is 'God of Small Things', I love the different threads, the build up of suspense, the way you can smell the hot humid air, can taste the almost overripe mangos. I love this book so much! Second best would be 'The Bone People', and I guess what both of these have in common is a real commitment to read them - neither are candy floss, and also both have a dark current flowing through them...

Asides from that I have fairly catholic tastes, and will read pretty much anything, always have a house littered with books (though they tend to be more of 'the tiger who came to tea' and 'I will never, not ever eat a tomato' style than literature these days
