Book Extracts from the Guardian

I am sitting bathed in sunshine as I work here at my desk this morning. A rare and beautiful thing in these days when the temperature rarely climbs above 5 degrees celsius ... okay, so it's still -1 but the sun is exquisite when shining through the window.

I came online looking for an extract from Michael Ondaatje's 'Running in the Family', the opening chapter is one of my favourite pieces of writing and I had wanted to send it to a friend ... I couldn't find it but found this useful Guardian page ... 'useful'? Well, if you are a lover of books it's a nice little wander.

It's here The Guardian
