Wednesday What Are You Reading

Three weeks in a row. This is disturbingly consistent for me.

Currently reading

Still on New York Mosaic, but now on the third book, Many Mansions. I am not getting into this one so much as the previous two. Loved The Christmas Tree, though.


Recently finished

Ruby Tanya, Robert Swindells (I think). Picked up from the station book swap shelf to read on the train to London on Saturday. Rather earnest tween fiction involving asylum seekers, schoolchildren, EDL-a-like councillors, and a bomb. I enjoyed it - Ruby Tanya herself was a particularly engaging character - but was not entirely comfortable with the way that Asra and the other asylum seekers came from an unspecified 'my country'.


Up next

Not sure. Maybe The Edwardians. Or maybe something else. I am not feeling terribly intellectual this week.


Other media

Finished The Bridge; disagreed heartily with Housemate over the ending. (I thought it was in character, principled, and in keeping with tradition, but there we go...) The Musketeers, hooray; I particularly like d'Artagnan's eyebrows. Have sort of half-agreed to watch The West Wing (for some reason this is apparently essential if I want to keep up with the gossip in my old office) - which will mean obtaining DVDs and working out the DVD player. I'm sure it's not beyond me.

(no subject)

I promised musicpsych a while ago that I'd talk a bit around faith and doubt, and how they work for me. This is partly an answer to some other questions, which I am at the moment too much of a wuss to direct at the person who asked them; but it's all the same theme.

( tl;dr faith, depression, pedantry )
