| | Linky here http://www.noops.org/guts.html It's a weird story. Makes you squirm.
"Nobody likes my shoes! I made... I made fifty... fucking vol-au-vents, and not one of you... not one of you... said "Thank you." And my favourite: "Everybody, shut up. Shut up! This song is all about me." |

| | Speaking of oxfam yesterday, and how cheeky they are. They got a promotion on where if you donate 5 Marks&Spencer items they give you a £5 gift voucher to spend at Marks&Spencer. The catch is that you can only use said voucher if you spend over £35 at M&S. That's double cheeky. Because you dont find out about the £35 catch until try to use it. Sorry this was off topic. Carry on...
Yes, all right.. Christ Almighty! It's like walking down a corridor and answering the door in Nazi Germany! |

|  Finally finished this at 4am this morning, fucking brilliant book. If you've ever thought about the difference between the truth and the whole truth then read this book. Very good but be warned, it is all about suppressed desire, past and passed on opportunity, the safe choice against the fulfilling one, the way that fear can make for loss and all sorts of other shit! It's the kind of book that you get to the end of and even before you've got there you're thinking about starting again to make sure you haven't missed any subtler nuances.
Avoid, rather than check. Check, rather than hurt. Hurt, rather than maim. Maim, rather than kill. For all life is precious, nor can any be replaced. |

Just that line makes me wanna put my book down and read that instead.

| That might be my next book, thanks Cloudy.
Tinker, Tailor Jeebus...I have read nearly all of Le Carré's books, I am a fan, but this wasnt one of my favourites. Found it long and slow in honesty. A Perfect Spy and The Spy Who Came in from the Cold are excellent. LC can also be a little verbose at times, other time pitch perfect but sometimes he takes a long arse way of saying fuck all. Perhaps I can find an example.
