It's driving me nuts.<br /><a href="http://www.bbxhost.com/why-bbx-host/" rel="nofollow">australian web hosting</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040977438826724821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-16059287769281755222012-11-25T23:16:33.047+00:002012-11-25T23:16:33.047+00:00I've just finished The Mill for Grinding Old P...I've just finished The Mill for Grinding Old People Young. Glenn Patterson. Quite fascinating story of the time when Belfast started to build itself right up post Enlightenment and United Irishmen. Gets a bit lost for pace in the middle but possibly the best opening and closing of any novel I've read. About to do my annual reading of A Christmas Mystery- a book about a magical advent calendar written in twenty-four chapters so that the book is an advent calendar. Jostein Gaardner. I rave about it every year in the blogosphere!magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-1099910714321131812012-11-25T16:25:42.431+00:002012-11-25T16:25:42.431+00:00I salute you for putting your shoulder to the NaBl...I salute you for putting your shoulder to the NaBloBlahBlah and slogging on Isabelle. Call me a quitter....<br />Speaking of brain bruising [Dianne, above] I cast aside a Maeve Binchy book because it was Boring. I haven't liked her writing for years so what did I expect? Now I'm reading "Seeking Peace" by Mary Pipher [made famous by her book "Reviving Ophelia.} I love a book that makes me want to sneak away from what I'm doing and read "just a few more pages" before I go back to being responsible. It was a slow start but now I can't put it down.<br /><br />I also want to reread "Watership Down!" mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-69712361378491510732012-11-24T21:57:45.407+00:002012-11-24T21:57:45.407+00:00I read "Decca" recently and so enjoyed i...I read "Decca" recently and so enjoyed it ... but also slightly jealous at how people can be so central to politics - to have an opportunity for influence - by an accident of birth. It seems wrong.<br /><br />I'm reading Simon Winchester's "Krakatoa" and I'm very glad I didn't read it before we went there or we might not have gone!Lynleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956362488310278470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-90302787392691709672012-11-24T20:58:18.382+00:002012-11-24T20:58:18.382+00:00i think i may have uncovered a clue to solving the...i think i may have uncovered a clue to solving the mystery of the drowning man thinking about sausage ...

Not sure why, other than that I recommended it to my animal-mad son, downloaded it for the Kindle, started browsing and suddenly find myself a hundred pages in. Must be 30 years or more since I last read it. <br /><br />And I am pretty sure my drowning thought would not be a sausage. Chocolate, yes. Sausage, no.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00452847223685776419noreply@blogger.com
