More reading
Jan. 20th, 2014 05:07 pmIt's like I ate a library suddenly.
The Miranda Hart book was very light, and mildly amusing, but my train reading had run out again. So this morning I noticed a charity second hand book stall and went with something light again, The Woman Who Went To Bed For A Year by Sue Townsend, the Adrian Mole woman. First 55 pages kept my attention this morning easily enough. I think it might be funnier if I were further away from the protagonist in age or experiences. I had the same problem with The Office - lots of things that were meant to be funny just seemed like normal for places I've worked.
Anyway, perhaps I should read Dostoevsky next...
I'm not linking to or buying from Amazon because they don't pay taxes and they squeeze blood from their warehouse workers. Wikipedia has a good summary of Amazon's controversial practices.
