Right so try to find from which five books I have lifted the five sentences that make up this paragraph:
It was the day my grandmother exploded. When I went out, Auntie was waiting in the upstairs hall with a chore for me. The Russian soldier thrust his face into the rear of the truck. She removed the cigarette, flicked the ash on the floor behind her, and leaned into the counter. "Where have I heard that before?"
For the record, I'm currently struggling with
The Satanic Verses
. But often seek refuge in
A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil
which is easier and funnier by far.
