I completed the 39 steps last night and found out today that the central character Richard Hannay appears in another five novels by Buchan. I found that the story was really good and reading up on the history of the book it seems to have been used as a sort of blue print for a number of "Hunted man on the run" books and films. I've started reading E.M.Forsters "A passage to India" and after reading a few novels on India I am really looking forward to it. Books like White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and Midnights Children by Salman Rushdie really make me want to visit India but I don't think I would be able to convince my wife.
Played football at work for the first time today on the old style AstroTurf that will remove half of your skin if you fall over. The ball seems to be like a balloon on the surface so control has to be spot on. I much prefer the third generation grass with the rubber pellets as it dampens the bounce of the ball and also is much better if you fall over.
Looking forward to watching the advertising task on the apprentice later tonight.
