It uses characters already created in other authors fiction because, according to O'Brien, there were "already enough fictional characters in existence"!

I'm a great fan of this book, and of some of O'Brien's others. There ARE various selections of his journalism, the best of which is probably the volume called THE BEST OF MYLES, which I think is superb – very funny, often surreal, and occasionally angry. In fact I'm on my second copy of it, having worn out the first through continuous re-readings.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-73709671301517782982011-09-23T07:15:45.644+01:002011-09-23T07:15:45.644+01:00Really useful article to read and get useful infor...Really useful article to read and get useful information,.juegos cartoonhttp://juegostoon.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-54718656593466862912011-09-22T15:57:03.921+01:002011-09-22T15:57:03.921+01:00Snee: Get well sone!Snee: Get well sone!bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-5788578736861408962011-09-22T10:52:00.256+01:002011-09-22T10:52:00.256+01:00Hi Bazza,

At least my humerous bone is stronger now.

My daughter loves to read electronically - it must be a generational thing! However, I have used a site called The Gutenberg Project which allows you to read 40,000 classic books free of charge on-line. H'mm sounds like a cue for a posting!

It will also be in book form, I just have to have the feel of pages on my fingers!

I think it was probably The Poor Mouth - but, oh dear, I don't remember much about it now! Time to reintroduce myself to Flann, maybe.
