The Book of Sand by Jorge Luis Borges"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"0

I'm not reading much at the moment but the next book I want to read is Boy Meets Girl by Ali Smith. I can't get enough of Ali Smith books.'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Egdar Allan Poe
This man was a genius if you ask me.The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

Recently finished The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and now reading Cosmos by Carl Sagan (I admit I have been late to read this). Of course a little terry pratchett or douglas adams therapy here and there to lighten me up."when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion." Robert Pirsig0

What did you think of The God Delusion? Seen it in bookstores and the cover makes it sound very interesting.
I've just finished American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, now reading Tully by Paullina Simons0
