Sometimes you reach a saturation point...it´s the old too much of a good thing.

I can´t think of anything quite as frustrating as wandering around a book filled shop and not being interested in anything. Puzzles, actually, are a good distraction technique.

I´ve only been in Manchester once, in the town centre, I mean. Manchester United had a match that weekend and the supporters trashed the hotel we were staying in.

Here are some books I read recently that I really liked.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
Newton's Madness: Further Tales of Clinical Neurology by Harold Klawans
Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness by William Styron

Other than that, I read nothing but the twaddle I'm forced to digest from school textbooks. >:(

Anyway, good luck finding good books! One of the most worthwhile pursuits in life, I think.

Thanks for the pointers.

We have Everything is Illuminated. Ailz read it I think. Maybe I'll reach it down from the shelf.

Borders has spread to Britain? The damn thing's like cancer.

P.S. If you'd like, I can send you that Holiday music I mentioned a while back, either as a data or music CD.

That's very kind of you.

I'd prefer it as a CD- if that's all right. I never listen to stuff on the computer (For one thing it doesn't even have any speakers).

My address is

Thanks....
