Evening all
![]() Busy day at work, hurt my back too. Given myself a day off tomorrow, to spend some more time with Mrs Porridge. Promised to help the Father in law with disconnecting his sky box, I fear it may turn into running cables around the house from the aerial. Also, must finish that quote for Sad that I promised her! |

One of the reasons we chose the house we did was De Heuvel - gotta have somewhere to go sledging! ![]() Porridge - you're a lovely fella. ![]() Me, I'm knackered. I'm going to drag myself off to bed, to read for a while. I'm about to finish a really good book... I hate finishing good books.

I had watched Man on Wire and loved it so much that I thought I'd give this novel a try. |

I've just finished the second one of the Millennium Trilogy. I bought the first two when I thought I was about to fly to Warsaw, thinking they'd be a light *holiday* read, and I've read them both now and really enjoyed them. I'm just shooting off to get the third one in a minute. After that, I'm up for suggestions. I hate not having a book on the go.
![]() I bought vol. 1 and 2, thinking I'd be in for a treat and couldn't believe my eyes! Cardboard characters as flat as Holland! Struggled my way to the end of vol 1 and - thinking I must have missed something - read the first 15 pages of vol. 2 and then gave up completely. Besides flat characters, I feel there is something a bit cheap and 'voyeuristic' about them, like an out of control fantasy of someone with an unhealthy interest in sadism. Hope I didn't spoil it for you.... ![]()
