Roundup, January

Have been travelling most of this week. Work could not have gone better. Otherwise, i don’t have anything majorly interesting to write about.

I spent, about 2500 bucks, on the following:

The first book from Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy. I’ve already done about 200 pages of it. Trust me, lovely stuff – intelligent, light – JUST about right. I’l get both the other books the next time i visit a bookstore.

Bought Leslie Chang’s much recommended ‘Factory Girls’ – flipped through to make sure that it was not heady – it is not. More soon.

How many of you have heard of William Burroughs ? I was told to look him up and his works. I bought his, what appears to be iconic, Naked Lunch. We’ll see how it goes.

Also bagged another book i’d been meaning to buy now for a long time – but couldn't because it just wasn't available from Landmark. ‘The Partnership : The making of goldman sachs’. One of those books which i know intuitively that i will enjoy.

And then finally, the experiment – Middlesex (a calculated risk, it is)

Alright. We’ll stop here.

The second half of Män som hatar kvinnor becons. I dig these Nordic character names – Blomkvist, Wennerstorm, Gunnar, Bjurman and dozens more heavenly names like that. *sigh*

If i manage some sleep in the afternoon iam sure to hit Bessie beach eveningish, round off a thoroughly awesome week  and hit the sack early.

Murphy’s law will come into play surely for the next week. One week of extreme awesomeness will be followed – in all probability – by one extremely nightmarish week. No ?
