and another thing, I got a bloody parking ticket for being 15 minutes late. Grrr.
On a lighter note, I've finally completed John Banville's novel The Sea. It took some time with many breaks but, well, it's pretty damn good. Next up is Michael Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White.
Here's a view of some novels I received for Christmas. Lucky old me. They'll be a distraction from my parking ticket woes.

Hey! Happy New Year.
I quite like the Crimson Petal and the White. Although I still get v. paranoid when I get a headache behind one of my eyes...
Which Murakami do you have?
I wish I got books for Christmas. I got a mug tree.
AND FINALLY: my, what pretty pictures you take with your camera... must be v. pleased to have a new one...
Whew, what a delicious set of books. I read so slow, I'm still trying to catch up with books folks sent here a year or more ago.
Sarah,
The Murakami is Kafka on the Shore which I haven't been able to look at yet.
G,
I go through phases with novels. However, this year I've cut down watching tv to make space for novels. Hurrah! It's very disciplined of me.

May I suggest Michael Crichton's State of Fear? Really think it is a book you would enjoy.
oooo lovely books, Dan! Enjoyed Faber's Crimson Petal and the White too, some beautiful passages. Question when finished... who is the narrator? Have you read "Under the Skin" by Faber?
Sandy,
I'm half way through The Crimson Petal etc which is really good. First novel by Faber I've read. Will read others after this though.
