How did you like “A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers”? And I´ve given McCall Smith a second chance with “The Sunday Philosophy Club” but I don´t like his moralizing style. Is “44 Scotland Street” like that, too?
I liked A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers. I didn’t love it, but it was a fun, fast read.
I don’t really find 44 Scotland Street moralizing. I just find it lighthearted and fun. Not really very deep, but quite entertaining. :)
