Quick update of my reading de jour:
- Ok so it's not exactly a book but does reading state of the environment reports count? Air quality indoors - it's the next big thing man...
- Just whizzed through a Book on Chakras! Bless the mountainy bookshops and their love of all things energetic and esoteric. Chakras for the week - throat and heart.
- still going on Nausea - bloody Sartre, funny as all get out but bleak and stark raving mad at times. May be my plodding book of this half of the year
- R is for Ricochet Sue Grafton rocking my world with another schlocky Kinsey Millhone Mystery. Thanks mum for getting me onto true bath reading escapism that doesn't entirely insult your intelligence. Tip for new players - start with A is for Alibi or something down that end of the alphabet for true delightful sparse Californian bad eighties context...
- honky personal development book on inner child work. 'You're saying I have to sit in a chair and role play with myself?? Out loud? For real?' ahem, yeah maybe later. I have learnt that my inner child (oh sorry, 'child within') still throws tantrums and sulks, but generally she rocks. Book not actually as bad as it sounds, useful tool for identifying old inner dialogue that needs spring cleaning. More details on request...
- Birthday book (thanks Aunty B) on bedside table. Next on list.
