Personal quirk: I find it extremely difficult to eat unless I am reading something. This makes me a rather unfortunate dinner guest. In reality, I can manage without words if I’m in the company of others. But if I’m breakfasting alone? Get me a book before I starve to death.
Brideshead Revisited is my current lunch-time reading and it’s funny and light. So far. It’s also SO English that I can hardly stand it (cousins named Melchior and champagne in your dormitory quarters at noon). Despite my somewhat broad experience with British literature, I have a lot of gritty, American disdain for Anglophiles and can only take these super-British books in small doses. Spread them out, you see, sprinkle them in amongst the Russians, French, Japanese, and Americans and all will be well.
Unrelated: I started a dog blog called Doggerel. This should not largely concern you and I don’t expect any of you to read it. Rather, I’m telling you to give you some form of relief. I hope to direct my animal- and dog-oriented posts over here from now on. To save your sanity and mine.
Also, strawberries are unbelievably delicious right now. Get thee to the grocer’s.

No, Kandyce, you’re the best! That blog… is amazing. Well done.
Your mother made me read your blog. You were hoping i forgot about our deal:
You find a book for me to read. I find a book for you to read. You have to read it cover to cover and enjoy.
You have selected – Crime and Punishment for me. I am leaning toward Twilight Saga. I think it is the 3rd in the glorious series. I will let you know if I find something better.
This is going to be delicious. I will have Goino videotape your reading my selection.
