I love this author but the silliness is not for me

I like the dark… but not when I’m struggling to see the need to keep going…

Brilliant humour, I can hear this in that trademark Gatiss tone, but I have to be in the mood for a book that's 100% farcical and not at all immersive. This will take a while...

Reread.

The Casual Vacancy was a dark, solid read that was worth the time. So far, Cuckoo's an easy pleasure, and makes me happy Rowling's got a series on.

Returned to reread, in order to scrub out my brain...

Re-read number three.

Taking... too... many... notes...

Merry Christmas to me... first giftcard purchase.

This is yummy-- deconstructing myths, giving us a handle on how they come together in our culture, in a process Barthes deems universal in shape.

Re-reading to pair with Science of Evil... Koestenbaum has another perspective on empathy, dwelling on moments we dehumanise and humiliate.

Finally! And diving in, on chapter eight... so very good...

Of course I am! forty minutes till my shift starts... burn, baby, burn...

No Garment of Shadows in, just yet, so I'm starting on one I read back in high school, too quickly-- a friend I'm mad about is mad about it, and I love the man's short stories, so why not?

But it's a really sad, bad part...
