Wednesday, May 26th, 2010 09:45 pmHeat is another country. I do things differently there. Granted, this is heat (31C/ 87F) that stops when the sun goes down, so I turn back into myself; unlike real heatwave heat (38, 40) that doesn't, so I don't either.
Finished The Hollowing. Huzzah, a happy ending in Holdstock! Or- well... I thought Lavondyss had a happy ending-- look, Tallis comes home, right? which The Hollowing proved was nothing of the sort. So, mh, maybe not. Thus, instead of forging ahead with the next book, which in fact goes back and deals with those utter bores from the first book, I picked me up a collection of Kipling's prose and poetry, vol 2, where vol 1 was all from the children's books. Started in on some of the poems, and um err oh dear. Kipling's hair-raising tendencies are muted in Puck of Pook's Hill, and even the Jungle Books by and large; but in the adult stuff Oh Em Gee. So I have nothing to read in the current heat spell, and must study Japanese idioms instead, which put me to sleep.
