Traci stepped in because Kylie wasn't available/was too prudish, if I recall (x-p)

Finished Suite Francaise the other day - positively breath-taking, even if one disregards the situation under which it was written. The appendices are pretty upsetting, though.

Anyway, after finsihing that, everything else kinda pales in comparison (to coin a cliche) - I've picked-up and put down five books, at last count, and finally settled on The Coroner's Lunch, 'cause I figured that it was different enough I wouldn't keep comparing it to Suite. It's pretty entertaining, I must say.

Neverending Story, I did have a brief daliance with Still Life With Woodpecker before I started Neverending Story but it didn't stick.

I finished John Dufresne's Deep in the Shade of Paradise last night, which made me cry. I started reading it because I thought I had misplaced The True History of the Kelly Gang, which I later found in my suitcase, right where it should have been. So now, back to that, and once that's done I'll read those last 25 pages of At-Swim-Two-Birds.

Your wish is my command.

No no Josh, it's NaNoWriMo, not NaDiWriMo!
