Apologies

May 3, 2008

As the title suggests, I am apologising for something. It could be a fun game for you (and quite deflating for me) to guess exactly what I am apologising for as I am not too sure if I have readers enough to notice that I have not written in a while, but we’re not going to play this game today. The reason for my apology is that I currently have the black lung and the spare time that I have is spent in bed, sans book. While this means that I have not finished that excellent novel Catch-22, it does not mean that I have been prevented from plugging through a hearty chunk. I am, after all, super reader extrordinaire.

I must also note that Heller’s work is amazing. It is challenging and you have to build yourself up to the right mindset for reading this diving, swiping little bipolar-driven bomber, but it is totally worth it. I will write again soon gang. To the doona I go!

Hello World!

April 15, 2008

As Mr WordPress once wrote: ‘Hello World!’ I too take on this excellent phrase as a welcome to my reading rambles. I guess this is just a little post to note that, while I have just posted about that excellent book ‘The Book Thief’, will inform that there may be posting of reviews at a speed much faster than the normal speedy reader may complete a 500 or so page novel. This is simply because there are a few books that I have read that have inspired me to write. So don’t worry - I don’t actually have superhuman reading powers. It’s ok.
