Remembering the Midlands

I deeply frightened of and disturbed about graduate school. Any finding my workshop course very difficult, trying to contort into positions I'm not accustomed to. It will be good for me eventually. And so in escape, Guardian Top Ten Books about my former home, The Midlands- though not exclusively the East Midlands (which everyone knows is the best bit). Now I want to read "The Road to Lichfield" as I fell in love with Penelope Lively this summer via Moontiger. I still love Gloria Steinem. I have to go as there are line-ups for the computer, and I have to find some OSAP.
