currently reading gaiman’s “m is for magic.” mph suckered me into getting it NOW FOR 20% OFF FOR MPH CARD MEMBERS. and what d’ya know? i’d just picked up my card a week ago.

also making my way through the gaiman/pratchett liaison “good omens.” not particularly fond of it but have managed to swallow at least half of it so far. it makes for so-so reading room material.

i’d die to get my grubby little hands on the roald dahl omnibus which B lent to suet. he later rubbed my face in the fact that it has a few never-published-anywhere-else stories. i only half believed it till he recommended the “pig” as a good starter, true enough, i’d never read it. goddamnit.

also just finished “snuff” by chuck palahniuk. a bit disappointing. of course i love his spewing of random sick facts. but the choice of topic just seemed a little too convenient and expected. ending was a farce. ptui.

should do more detailed reviews once my memory starts working properly again.

edit: nyeeaaseng. recycling stories for “fragile things” is not on, neil!
