there are enough books out there that i want to get through that, with a few exceptions, i don't see the need to re-read books. also, when it comes to moving flats, i'll be fucked if i'm shifting boxes and boxes of books!

Yeah Dude, I'm never going to aspire to greatness, so you have to take the helm!

We need a company secretary, you know, long legs, good hair, nice tattoos.

I tend to reread a lot of my books almost as a relaxing thing. I've been reading some pretty heavy stuff recently so to reread Prachett is to give my brain a rest from genocide or the mad imaginations of an 16th centuary ex-monk.

I imagine if you've taken reading as your degree and then have been forced to read certain books regardless of personal choice I'd imagine it'd take a while to get back your reading mojo.

you certainly do have awesome tattoos. I'm not sure about the Calvin Klein top. Can you be the company secretary and wear trendy label clothes?

Still, as an English student you should be able to sort out my spelling and know the correct use of flying commas (') and whether the i goes before the e or not.

you get my vote just 'cos your tattoos are, as you say, awesome.

haha, that calvin klein top doesn't belong to me! honest! i was only wearing to air the tattoo anyway. and besides, i don't think there's a photo of my newest one in the galleries...that would totally over-ride the woefulness of me wearing a CK top.

on a book related note, i'm currently on William Burrough's 'Naked Lunch'. I've tried to get into it a few times before to no avail, but now it's on my course i'm having another crack at it. Hope to be finished it by the end of the weekend.
