Darned Dan Brown and Flippin Philip Roth

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.

So you're exhausted from running, spaced out and full of meat. Sounds like a good week's work to me.

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!
