  1. You really have some fine choices here, Margaret. I thought In Cold Blood was excellent and an interesting re-telling of a real-life crime. And The Day of the Jackal is, I think, very suspenseful. And I’ve always wanted to read The Go-Between. Whichever book you get, I hope you enjoy it.

  2. We’ve both got The Day of the Jackal on our lists, but at different numbers. Of course I’m hoping you get Dickens, but if you’re looking for something shorter, then I’ll keep my fingers crossed for The Lost World!
