Nice colour,it is kind of mine too,although some grays keep popping up. I dont know if you've heard of but there is a Vanessa Bell and Woolf's joint biography which I love and recommend to everyone: http://www.amazon.com/Virginia-Woolf-Vanessa-Bell-Jane/dp/1860498515 also her "congenial spirits" which I do not have but read all the way through with blissful delight. it feels a bit nosy reading someone's letters but here we go. i read this http://www.amazon.com/Virginia-Woolf-Inner-Julia-Briggs/dp/0156032295/ref=sr_1_35/104-3655197-1383933?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190971753&sr=1-35 last year what was very good too. sorry to litter your comment box with links of books you have already read! have a nice day Can’t believe I missed that!

The New York Times said it was his most beautiful book and the Independent said it was a "holy" book and proves why literature matters. I'll let you know what I think. I couldn't bring myself to read The English Patient because I hated that movie, but I know I shouldn't judge the book by that. As for Skin of the Lion, I just read something in the Guardian by a writer who was raving about that book. Yikes!

By far. I would read Billy the Kid (poetry) or In the Skin of the Lion, or if you go for blockbusters, the English Patient. Anil’s ghost is in my opinion Ondaatje’s worst book. By far.
