Capital- John Lanchester

[Gigondas]

Anyone else reading this? Am really enjoying it - like the way he draws up characters and the underlying theme about wealth comes through but isnt so obvious it's at expense of plot.

Just read Whoops, IOU, basically his research into why the economy collapsed. Very readable.

I'm waiting for the novel to drop in price for the kindle.

I'm loving Capital: it's crying out to be made into a TV series isn't it?

Yep, really want to read this but will wait until it's in paperback (or turns up in a charity shop - my preferred option).

'Whoops!' was great. Can also highly recommend his memoir, 'Family Romance' - all about his parents and the fascinating discovery that his mother spent some years as a nun; none of this was known to him for years. Utterly fascinating.
