Urrrgh, sick. Please send thoughts of chicken soup. Gleh.

Am listening to an audiobook of Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton in the car these days. Just heard that The Guy The Heroine Ought To Be Interested In But Isn't has been fending off the attentions of another young lady... Molly Gibson. Whose father is a Manchester shopkeeper

I wrote a paper on Mary Barton once. All I remember now is that a blind girl who sings really well gets unblind (yes?), and Mary and her Love (Jem?) decide to go to Canada. And also, working in a factory sucks.

Castle! Off to read.

Well I'm only 1/3 of the way in so thanks for the spoilers!!

Oops. Sorry. I didn't read your entry properly and thought you were done. :(

Really very sorry! I hate it when people do that to me! Umm...I'm reading Empire Falls by Richard Russo at the moment if you want to destroy that experience for me...

SO SORRY.

UGH SERIOUSLY I FEEL AWFUL.

Really, you don't need to feel so bad! I already knew something about how it ended from my professor anyway. Plus, I've gotten more used to knowing stuff ahead of time, since my reading assignments sometimes pile up in such a way that I have to attend discussions of books I haven't finished yet.

I'm still going to wallow in guilt for a bit.
