		<description><![CDATA[I made three New Year resolutions for 2010.
The first was to maintain the weight loss I had accomplished last year. Losing weight and getting fit were my only resolutions for 2009 and I managed to shed a quarter of my body weight and have my doctor tell me &#8220;whatever you&#8217;re doing, keep doing it!&#8221; (Hooray) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;m currently reading this wonderful novel by A. S. Byatt, a writer whose reputation has, for many years, been unfairly overshadowed by the popularity of her sister, Margaret Drabble. 
I was a devout fan of Drabble&#8217;s early fiction, especially A Summer Birdcage, The Garrick Year and The Millstone, but I went off her a [...]]]></description>

I have taken my title from a wonderful book by an Irish writer, Michael Farrell, which was released in 1963. It was his one and only book, his master work, which he toiled over for years, never satisfied, even after it had been accepted by a publisher. I read it when I was living in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another good one has shuffled off this mortal coil. John Mortimer is probably best known for his Rumpole series of novels, which made a successful TV series for the Beeb starring the inimitable Leo McKern. But he was also a successful barrister, playwright, and writer of several wonderful autobiographies, of which A Voyage Round My [...]]]></description>
