Dear reader,
you know my little rant about reading for fun yesterday and not reading because it is a chore. Well I was astounded to find upon reading my new book for the week yet another Nick Honby called "Polysyllabic Spree", that he kind of has a similar rant right at the beginning of the book. This book is unlike his other books as it is actually a collection of book reviews he wrote for a Christian publication in the States called "Believer". So far I have wanted to go and buy several of the books he has reviewed, not that I will till at least the time I have finished this book. Doing fairly well considering sometimes it takes me months to read a book; nearly a third of the way through and that is only from reading today on trains and when I woke up mysteriously early this morning (5:30am).
I am in London today had a meeting with the Young Peoples Team in Friends House and The Leaveners, which i think went well. I guess I find it hard sometimes to contribute because I am doing books in an office half the time, and it is never easy to see how doing books helps contribute to the wider community of Quakers in and around the country. I like being in Friends House as it means I get to bump into old friends while I am here which is always a joy, so today I am sitting in the offices of the friend talking with Jez, currently sitting at Oliver's desk, but that is ok I had some banter with him earlier.
Always good to see Jez, and others too. Ooo Oliver is back, better get off his computer, although it is tempting to stay here so he can't work and can have a break.
