nnyI didn't die of fish, which is definitely a good thing.
I'm tired.
I want to find a home so I can want to go to it.
It's one of those days where you wake up feeling unconscionably emo and just know that today is gonna suck. I'm hoping that the world will be its usual contrary self and prove me wrong.
I've just finished reading a Star Wars book, and I have to say that I don't really want to read any more. It's like any book in which there's a war, it seems - the writer gets all excited about the battle they're describing, and leaves me completely confused.
I don't really see things when I read them. I kind of... appreciate how the words are put together, and the story, without forming a mental image. It's an advantage when films are made, because it rarely means I stomp around because OMG Remus DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT or whatever (although I still refuse to watch the Beach 'cos dammit Richard was English), but it just means that lengthy descriptions of battles and engagements leave me cold. I'd much rather read a well written argument than any number of lovingly outlined warscenes.
Luckily, Patrick O'Brian is equally gifted at both.
*grins*
Fortunes of War next, I think. Unless I'm distracted by Stephen Fry.
