this morning's journey to work...

forgot to pick up my book ('Frankie and Stankie' - nearly finished; and it's just got better and better - she's a great writer...) as i sneaked out this morning, so it was on with the ipod, which is currently a bit out of date ith the music i've recently bought. i fell back on two favorites - and thought i'd mention here (in a beef-out-my-profile way) they're greatness... U2's War and Nivana's Nevermind are classics it's clear - and War is rapidly becoming my favorite album... i simply can't find anything i don't like about it, apart from having heard New Years Day a few too many times in my life.

don't miss Carter

don't miss 'Carter beat the devil' by Glen David Gold. it's surely one of the most enjoyable reads i've had in a fair while. i'm a sucker for historical fiction, and this is a really fine example of taking the historical thread and weaving a great story - so well told - around it.

now moved on to Barbara Trapido's 'Frankie and Stankie', which is somewhat of a slow burner; but now i'm into it, it's getting better and better. the history of South Africa's there for the taking, but cleverly intertwined with a child's perspective and how it affects her. still reading...
