Snowball, chance, and hell

I’ve just received Gerard Woodword’s “I’ll Go to Bed at Noon” in the post. Just what I need after AL Kennedy’s Paradise: another book about dysfunctional boozehounds. I look forward to sharing my opinions on the novel even if the words in the title above come to mind when I consider its likely fate at the hands of the Booker judges tonight. The announcement of the winner will be made on BBC 2 tonight. I still think it’s a two-horse race between Colm T�ib�n’s The Master and David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. Then again, my hunches about this year’s Nobel Prize give an idea of my powers of augury.
