    Enjoy! I just lent it to a friend of mine and got a text today saying that he loved it.

    The Quickie by James Patterson. I'm not a fan of Patterson. The only other book of his I read was "Roses are Red". It is too fast paced for me. (The reason I don't like Dan Brown either). One of the things I love about reading is really getting to know characters and take the ride with them. His characters are so flat and the two page chapters are annoying. That said, it is an interesting story, just in the hands of a poor writer.

    I'm still reading "The Name of the Wind". Catch-22, if you're out there you should check it out. It's good. I'm about 300 pages in and am enjoying it.

    The way Shakespeare's plays are written is the reason they are masterpieces. He wasn't a master dramatist but he was a hell of a poet.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    I've just started Darkly Dreaming Dexter. I've seen season 1 & 2 and come across the book yesterday. I just finished Chart Idol by Ben Elton. Disturbingly brilliant.
    I can't go the library anymore, everyone STINKS!!

    read Milan Kundera's Ignorance today and it was amazing. it ended leaving me with that poignancy of profound meaning that's charming rather than depressing, or maybe both :)
