Confession...
It's like this you see..... it's no secret that I haven't read any Forester, and it's also no secret that I've been promising lots of lovely, lovely people round here that I will. Now I was pretty sure I'd be getting either Forester or O'Brian for Christmas and guess what? I got O'Brian :}
So not only have I still not read any CSF, I don't even own any! And I have a huge pile of other books to read: 5 naval history, 2 O'Brian, 2 Scottish history, Ursula Le Guin's new novel and a sadly neglected biography of Alan Turing. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to reading O'Brian but I so want to read CSF and I don't know anyone over at perfect_duet ;) *sigh* I shall just have to buy my own CSF and read it on the way to work!
Not only that but the plot bunnies are breading like, well bunnies, and more time seems to be taken up with writing than reading these days. And a simple little angst fic I was writing has suddenly sprouted a labyrinthine plot and I've written myself into a corner that I've been trying to get out of for several days.
Anyway, you didn't really want to know that did you? Thank goodness esmerelda_t is sending Bartholomew over to distract me. Better go and lock up the spirits and hide my shoes ;)
