AWOL:

The list of things to do around here is growing by the minute. Why I didn’t think to do some of these things a month ago I don’t know. I apologise for neglecting to post more frequently — I’ll try to get a handle on that — but preparations for moving to Canada (just over two weeks to go) are consuming more and more of my time. Well, that and the memory of last month’s $170 telephone bill incurred solely for time spent on dial-up isn’t helping either!

I’ve found solace indulging in some light reading. My usual existentialist, or conceptual physics-oriented fill is tucked away at my US apartment, so I’m making do with whatever non-romancy paperbacks I can salvage from the boxes in the study here. I burned through Contagion, The General’s Daughter, A Touch of Frost, and The Brethren at the rate of one a day — the first took nine hours to conquer, but now that I’ve found my rhythm they’re a snap at around seven hours each.

If you get the chance, read “London Fields” by Martin Amis. It is quite possibly the best book I’ve read in the last year, although Kundera’s “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” is a close competitor.
