Breathe by Tim Winton

I have to make it known that I have fallen in love with Tim Winton's writing. My introduction to his world of writing was 'Cloudstreet,' were I found myself lost in the lives of the Pickles and Lambs. His wit in charactisation is just out of this world; or more accuractly so much within this world.

Having just read 'Breathe,' I once again was absorbed in the lives of Pikelet, Sando, Loonie and Eva.
I have become a Tim Winton follower if you may; now having brought his compilation of short stories 'The Turning.' Don't we wish we too could be so talented in crafting stories so close to home; so realistic and fulfilling that you just wish the story will never end? Here's the beginning to my short story writing I think.
