58) Tamburlaine must die - Louise Welsh (used, hardback)
Where? Chapters
Why?
This was a Saturday, and I was suffering under the notion that I was going to have to go into work eventually to do final prep for our audit on Monday. But at least being a Saturday I didn't have to be go in in the morning, I think I ended up working 4pm - 8pm, which is when I'm at my most awake and productive.
Anyway the audit hanging over me like a cloud raining anxiety and terror I needed a book to calm me down.
Most specifically, I need a short, junky, book I could read in one sitting before going to work.
This is also part of my slow progress through every modern fictionalized portrayal of Christopher Marlowe.
It was terrible.

Hello! I stumbled across your blog poking around google results for the Lynch-a-long, and reading back I found not only a mention of my own work (thank you!) but also this ...excrescence. Oh dear.
ReplyDeleteA tragic misuse of the English language, indeed. When I read it, I blogged about the awful sex scenes here: http://matociquala.livejournal.com/861343.html
Pleasant to meet you, fellow traveler!
Ha! I'd actually read your blog about the awful sex scenes, but only realized it was the same book *after* I bought it... right around the words "veiny groin."
ReplyDeleteThat scene will haunt me.
The *horror*.
