erastesYes, spam from me today, I've got stuff to catch up on.
I'm 100 pages into "The Deception Point" by Dan Brown (yes, I know - why???? but my library is the size of a garden shed and has VERY little choice) and I'm screaming at the pages ALREADY.
I don't need to know the ins and outs of a helicopter or the exact description of Air Force One - and OMG I mean a uber detailed description of Air Force One, beginning with the outside, telling me the numbers of each plane - then going into a room by room description.... THEN a long dull descrioption of The Oval Office. Does this man not realise that we've seen films? He even tells us the exact dimensions of The White House.
100 pages in and NOTHING'S HAPPENED! (that's not true, someone's been thrown off a plane) If you took out all the pointless description the book would be 20 pages in at this point.
I really REALLY shouldn't read this crap, it just raises my blood pressure. If anyone was remotely interested I'd spork it. I'm not even doing 50 or 100 novel a year, but the thing is I got four books from the library and I'm an addict, I must read them all.
And I do love University Challenge.
David Bowie's Birthday today! Yay! *smooshes him* I'm now of an age where it wouldn't be odd for me to date him. *looks hopefully*
Oh and new versions of Northanger Abbey, Persuasion and Mansfield Park to look forward to this year, although Billie Piper In Mansfield Park? Do us a favour, guv, I don't fink so. *gags*
