I’m getting myself ready for a 3 week writing holiday plus our 11-y-o nephew is coming for the weekend. I’m getting around to the other stories bit by bit but can’t be sure I’ll read everyone this week. Thanks for taking the time to comment. As for Ballard, he’s definitely an acquired taste. If you’ve not come across him before I’d recommend starting with Empire of the Sun (the book on which the film was based), which is his most straightly autobiographical. Then I think you’re best off dipping into The Complete Short Stories which gives you an idea of his range. Please don’t start by reading Crash or The Atrocity Exhibition!

This week I’m getting caught up on the stories, just posted for the Weekly Photo Challenge, am watching the day’s Tour de France stage every day, and oh, yes, spending time with my husband. 🙂 Not much going on here.
