John Dory
By John Murray
An offbeat tale with some hilarious accounts of the narrator's schooldays; his ongoing war with his teacher, and his scrapes with his friend, Squinty Bar Radish. Underlying the reminiscences is a spiritual quest for meaning, and we are left to decide how far George Singer's enlightenment, through his encounter with the fish, has led him.
It also allows you to choose characters, plots and settings.
So my fellow book-a-holics out there - make your choice!

ReplyDeleteActually the book link was sent out to British Foreign Office staff so that's how I got it (though I'm local staff at the Swedish post).
