Train journey time!

Time to pick up The Book Thief, methinks... Bring it! Also accompanying me on the journey:
Distant Star
(Roberto Bolaño);
Revolutionary Road (Richard Yates);
plus a re-reading of Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd in potential readiness for a viewing of Tamara Drewe.
We'll see. 
Still undecided in how I'll feel about "a new genre: the contemporary pastoral comedy." 

*Edit: I omitted reference to the middle-lady before as TD: Film being linked first & foremost to stemming forth first from TD: Comic Strip. Posy Simmonds of the Guardian being the original re-worker of Hardy's novel.
