Reading.

Finished reading my fourth Christopher Brookmyre novel now, "all fun and games until somebody loses an eye." I know that phrase as some kind of childhood wisdom that parents would utter, but turns out  (via google) it's a roman thing - the only way to disqualify yourself from a roman wrestling match was to poke someone's eye... nothing directly like that in the novel but it doesn't lack in violence. Great fun though, great thriller as usual with human elements. Loved it.

Next is "Succubus Shadows" although the heroine's already annoyed me by following up on why there's a long queue in her bookshop (ill staff member) without at any point helping out or asking someone else to. I felt disguested for the poor (fictional) customers. Mind you, she is an agent of hell, despite being a supposedly "nice" succubus, so...
