# I finished reading a very sad book today
So here's a miniature monkey roller-skating across a boardroom table, to cheer myself up.

The book was The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, by John Boyne. And I thoroughly recommend it.

That's very good!

Currently I am reading the colour of magic, whilst waiting for sourcery to arrive.

# I wish I could
unread the discworld books. Then I could read them all over again without knowing the outcomes. It's agony waiting for the next release.

# No sad books!
Need cheering up, not sad books. Besides, I always feel silly crying over a book.

My God, I couldn't read it without a full loo roll.

For a good book when you've finished with intrigue and all sorts, I recommend The Lake Of Dead Languages. It's brilliant.

# Very good so far
Easier to read than Five Red Herrings, where a lot of the dialogue was phonetically written Scottish accents!
