A wicked book - something to aspire to (IMHO)

I've just finished Alexei Sayles, Barcelona Plates. A mate of mine lent it to me and I just couldn't put it down! 14 short stories with some biting twists at the end. I just had to keep reading and was highly disappointed to finish. I'll be out on eBay now trying to get some of his other tomes.

This is exactly how I'd like to be able to get my own short stories across. He takes a relatively mundane person or situation (something we can all relate to I'm sure) and pushes and pulls you in directions you just wouldn't expect. Highly recommended (but go to bed early else you'll be up til 4am!)

There's a link in my favourite lists of stuff that takes you to Amazon with all its reviews. Check it out.
