    In a break from my tradition of reading a trilogy beginning with book two, then backtracking to book one and leaping on to book three, I've started at the end of this one. Not much to say, except that only Japanese Death Poems (and not the arrival of the latest Granta) could have dragged me away from this. Some annoying typos near the end: the proof reader must have got tired. Question is, do I go for the complete backwards course of next reading book 2 in the sequence or do I go back to the start? It's got to be in hardback tho': I love the cover design of these volumes.
