I made it to the final page of the 'Family' section of Saturday's Guardian last night*. Lucy Mangan has reached number 7 in a series about building a good library of children's books, a series in which she described The Secret Garden's Dickon as a proto sex god, which is certainly memorable. I'm tryng to remember whether I have actually, properly and fully read TSG. I must have at school or through the library. (I'm confused because I may have read a ladybrid version or be going by a film adaptation). This week, she'd got to a book written by Gwen Grant that I think is the one where the girl wants to wrte, but it's after the war and there's a shortage of paper.

Anyay, on the same page of the supplement $is an interview with Meg Cabot about her family, which told me a lot of things I didn't know, and which do explain a lot about Cabot's style and tics.

*This may give you a big hint as to how I am not even approaching reading books.
