I took Dan Brown to bed on Tuesday night, never again, kept me up nearly all the night with his tortured cardinals and running and running and running all around Rome. I was wrecked on Wednesday. Then today, I took Philp Roth with me on a journey, only to find he was double spaced, so the book I thought was medium sized turned out to be actually rather short, and yes, I have to admit it was genius, and the double spacing made it easy to read, but, but... then it ran out, way too early in the day, and i was forced, absolutely forced against my will and better judgement to purchase a little Sebastian Barry, luckily I had the time to spare to read the first 100 pages, which meant I got into the story, a meaty kinda one, glad I had the time with it if I'm really honest... Ah I'm just feeling crabby after getting up and out so early and home so late, but yeah, Dan - if you're reading this, you've blown it, you're never gonna be let anywhere near my bedroom again.

Darned Dan Brown and Flippin Philip Roth

So you're exhausted from running, spaced out and full of meat. Sounds like a good week's work to me.
Yeah, I should really have friday(s) off shouldn't I? I mean I've surely done enough by now!!!
Ah Niamh, give me another chance, my latest one is mostly like reading nursery rhymes, soothing and slow paced...

And anyway - your blog could do with a bit of double spacing for those of us with less good eyesight.
Tho it is genius 2!
