I read and rapidly forget many novels, but The Changeling often rolls around in my head. The 'best intentions' of Charlie Forbes are identifiable, I think, for most of us. Makes me think of Hornby's How To Be Good in a way. I’ve never been disappointed by a Robin Jenkins novel. I read and rapidly forget many novels, but The Changeling often rolls around in my head.

His TV series <em>A History of Modern Britain</em> was terrific - it's just finished a rerun for sneaky people like me to record onto our DVRs for future nostalgia purposes. He was also a calamitously bad editor of the Independent for a while. Hey, what’s wrong with Andrew Marr!

As for Grassic Gibbon, he's a strange one. His <em>Sunset Song</em> gets voted the Scottish favourite, but the way people go on at it, you'd think they all hated it, since it's a school curriculum title. Perhaps, when these polls come round, it's the one book that springs to mind as being 'Scottish'. I'll certainly need to reread it one day.

That struck me as a bad sign! The Canongate Classics is a great series; I can always get on board with Lewis Grassic Gibbon!
