      Well said. x

  5. Ah, that feeling of finding a novel that slots comfortably into the upper echelons of your 'greatest ever books' list. Midnight's Children: congratulations on doing just that. Truly spectacular.. the work of a genius.

      It's one of those that people tend to put off.. heavy going and often gets ignored for 'easier' texts. Shouldn't do, it's marvellous.

      @Chrissy: It really is. Unbelievably layered. One of those I want to immediately read again to see what I find.

       

      @poppyshake: Oooh, I don't know have you Poppy? You should read it sometime though, it's brilliant. :)

       

      @Athena: Thanks, Athena.. finished it now but wow it was wonderful. :)

      @Chrissy: That's what it's all about - added bonus that we're getting decent weather for a change.

       

      @Poppyshake: Haha, it's always different on holiday anyway! I wouldn't want it to go bad all of a sudden over here. :)

       

      @Athena: Thanks! I'm sure I will. :)

      God I know that feeling.. lug far too many books back and forth for my Lit class at uni every day. :(

  14. Strange but good day today - I passed my degree with a first and then found out I've been offered a place on the masters course I wanted. Feel a bit like I've been dreaming it!

  15. I have over two hundred books on TBR and yet I can't pick one out to read. Unbelievable.

    1. Ben

      Ben

      @Hayley: I did read it. :P It's great!

       

      @Athena Oh I managed okay in the end, was just a momentary panic. ;)

       

      @Eleonora Oh that is a shame. I suppose there's that, at least. Would be horrible if you couldn't read at all.

      They're all over the house, on shelves, draws, etc. Plus knowing I don't have to read it because I have others means I'll keep looking.

      I think part of the problem for me is actually having so much choice. If I was limited I'd pick whatever was closest and get started..

  18. Having an absolute disaster of a day that could affect my entire final year at uni. *panics*

    1. Ben

      It would have been actually. Alas it's looking up now, though.

  19. Second year of university - done. I will now collapse into a place reserved simply for the academically exhausted. Then, freedom. At last.

      Thank you Kidsmum, it's such a lovely feeling of relief. Although I haven't quite had chance to enjoy it yet, have instead had to suffer the tortuous process of moving all my things out.

      Oh bobblybear I think you hit the nail on the end - that's my next few days in a nutshell.. or even weeks!

      Tonight's all-nighter (or almost, at least) should be the last of the academic year. The end is nigh.

  23. HATE the people who are watching the DW season finale right now. Why couldn't I have been living in American.. and decided to order to box-set.. and been lucky enough to get it early before they noticed the problem. Argh. Saturday seems so far away.

    1. Ben

      Ben

      Um, they shipped the DVDs out to people early, accidentally. Maybe, Michelle, but the tone of the comments from the exec's seemed quite convincing in that they'd messed up. *shrugs* Could've easily fooled me though.

      Yeah it's just frustrating that the team will have gone to so much trouble to create something special for us.. and there's already idiots trying to ruin it. But I'm with you, I can't wait for it on Sat. :)
