So I’m low on funds at the moment, but this has not stopped me from splurging on books at a quaint little second hand bookshop I found near my house.
So I will soon be publishing a list of the best second-hand bookshops in Brisbane (although, considering there’s not much here, I might have to include regular book shops).
Usually when I leave the house I check how many pages are left in my book and take a second one if it looks like I’m going to finish it. Today I underestimated the intense captivation of The Road by Cormac McCarthy, the dude who wrote No Country for Old Men. I probably shouldn’t refer to him as ‘dude considering he won the 2007 Pulitzer prize for The Road. So yes possibly a review of that to come soon.
So back to the original idea for this post: Currently reading:
- The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
- Strange Rain by Venero Armanno
- The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart
- Thank You Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse (I know! Exciting right?)
- Gridlock by Ben Elton (keep getting distracted by other books unfortunately)
So this means I’ll either be back in a couple of days with my brand-spanking new verdict on one of the above, or you wont hear from me while I bury myself in words and books and hardcovers and that musty book smell……
