(I'd better get a move on with the Baroque Cycle, then.)

What's This Blog About, Then?
I couldn't make the tag cloud work, so I have manually selected a clutch of old posts for your delectation; posts in which I:
- Am too short to reach a book
- Go to court for not paying my council tax
- Attempt to liveblog my own labour
- List all my scars
- Meet a famous cyberpunk author
- Tell you how to write a blog post
- Walk to work in the style of the Dawn of the Dead remake
- Wonder if there are any songs about lawnmowers

Ber-limey. Thank goodness I would never consider the 'book miles' incurred by an order from .com, which gives me a bit more time. As it is, .co.uk can only just spell it.
I haven't even read Cryptononny-wotsit yet. It sits on my shelf, taunting me.
I have Cobweb approaching the top of my reading pile, Cryptonomicon awaiting attention and vol 1 of the Baroque cycle acquired from Oxfam recently. I'm sure I'll love them - I used to wade through huge fantasy volumes all the time in my teens and 20s.
