Doctor, Doctor - It Hurts When I Go Like This

October 8th, 2002 by Will

So, let’s say you do something, and it’s very unpleasant. And you do it again, and it’s even more unpleasant. So, you do it yet again and it’s absolutely miserable … How many times should you keep doing it before you stop, and if you don’t stop, how many times can you keep doing it before they haul you away for being completely over-the-moon bonkers?

By the way, I am NOT reading Bel Canto. And, I am really, completely, absolutely NOT reading The Radiance of the King (anymore). I do need to find something to read - perhaps a guilty pleasure. Any suggestions?

    Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. Follow that up with The Scar by the same. Don’t worry. It’ll be okay.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I’d never heard of China Mieville, but Perdido Street Station looks like an interesting book.

    See, I keep going to this book discussion group because in my head, it’s full of interesting diner party type conversation about literature. And hot chicks - let me tell you about the hot chicks that are in my head.

    It ain’t that though, and I suspect that no amount of wish fulfillment is going to make it happen. Besides, the books that keep getting chosen - everybody hates them. I’m not even kidding. Three months and three books that everybody hated, so you have to wonder what the point of the thing is.

    But, what if next month there’s interesting conversation? And, I mean my god, what if there are actually hot chicks next month and I miss it?
