Brain Fudge = Not so tasty
You may have noticed a dearth of book reviews, even though I have four books I want to talk about. My brain is like fudge guys, fudge you buy for a treat, which then melts because you leave it on your dashboard in the sun. My office is too hot (it is raining outside and it’s still hot, that’s how hot) and I can just about cope with lying down and watching tv once I get back from the doomalicious days of this week. Last night I watched Midsummer Murders and made enough pasta salad to get me through today. Oh and had a disturbing dream about how highlighting my hair made me a highly visible victim to a psychopathic stalker who was riding a black horse, while wearing a crash helmet. That’s weekday life right now - party!
So instead of listening to me witter on about doom (the fans are too noisy, the office is too hot, bullet points! – this is the kind of thing you’re escaping) why don’t you read two posts that other bloggers wrote. I really enjoyed these posts this week – the memory of them helped me negotiate the doom.
Dorothy followed a bookstore walking trail last Saturday. I want to go!
Carl talks about another graphic discovery he’s made and shows pictures from the fictional biography of an actress famous for playing a femme superspy. I also want ‘Seductive Espionage’ now.
In other news the summer sale book catalogue from my book club has arrived, which means I’m having a hard time staying strong and keeping to the book buying ban. I could have ‘Leviathan’ for £3, never mind that I probably won’t read it until 2011! And I'll be in Stratford this weekend, where there are many books. Eeep! Encouragement would be welcome.
