A book! A book in the post from my friend. It's called 'Holes.' It came in a wrapped package from Amazon, and had a little card on it and everything.

How lovely to get a book I wasn't expecting in the post, when I almost never get interesting post and it's generally only bills from the Inland Revenue saying I owe them �290.00 in N.I. from 1998. (How? How? How can I possibly owe them anything from 1998, I'd just had a baby. I wasn't WORKING. My country was supposed to be supporting me, providing me with income from all the tax I'd paid already, not secretly charging me for being a full time mother. And how can they get away with sending me a letter 5 YEARS LATER telling me about it? This country, Jesus.)

Anyway. Now I have this lovely book, which I am desperate to read, but which I can't because I'm only a third of the way through Brick Lane and I can't start a new book when I haven't finished the one I'm reading, it's just not right.

So I'm going to read and read until I get to the end of Brick Lane and I probably won't take much of it in which is a shame for Monica Ali as she probably spent a great deal of time on getting it just right.

But I'm flightly like that you see. And I do so want to start the new one.
