I was pleased to have actually dedicated some time to read this weekend. I dabbled in The Economist. I enjoyed a bit more of C. Stross' The Nightmare Stacks. I re-read Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. One passage in particular has stayed with me.
Player: We're more of the blood, love and rhetoric school. Guildenstern: Well, I'll leave the choice to you, if there is anything to choose between them. Player:They're hardly divisible, sir -- well, I can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and I can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and I can do you all three concurrent or consecutive, but I can't do you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory -- they're all blood, you see.
Well, I got through The Kiss That Counted. Does that count?
Now I'm about 50 pages into Substitute for Love by Karin Kallmaker. I only have about 4 more books before I've finished everything of hers I have in print.
