My least favourite part of traveling is the schlepping. The hurry up and waiting... but what I do enjoy is the uninterrupted time to read. I make sure I don't buy any saucy gossip rags, no matter how enticing they are with photos of bald Britney or the real daddy of Anna Nicole's baby.So this trip I finally was able to rip into The End of Mr Y, Scarlett Thomas new book. I've had it on my bedside table for quite a while and would read a few pages every night before I went to bed, but that's not really reading.
What a great book. I can't explain it other then it is a mind trip. *laugh* Literally... you'll understand what I mean if you read it. I had more fun reading Pop-Co, but that doesn't mean I didn't relish every page of Mr.Y. It was wonderful... and again the main character is veggie. It's nice to be able to relate to your main character. :)
Next up is Jpod by Douglas Coupland.
