The opening sentence of Billy Liar by Keith Waterhouse, an excellent book which was filmed with Tom Courtenay playing the title role.

Enjoyed the film -never read the book, one to look out for perhaps.
My mum has recently been converted to using the Kindle and keeps telling me I should invest in one! At the moment I'm reading through a lot of DHLawrence and other things for research. When i'm having a moment off I'm reading the companion book to Downton Abbey which is surprisingly interesting and useful!
