Lori, just finished The Immortals. I think you'd enjoy this one.

A signed edition of Margaret Atwood's Paper Boat came today. I keep fawning over it and pawing it like an imbecile.

Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen
The author interviewed hundreds of people about nuclear weapons, strategy and the aftermath. This book is frightening. Not a dry read at all, rather, a page turner.

I got a chance today to visit a s/h bookshop I'd seen, because we love old book shops, don't we?
"Good morning," I said brightly to the man who appeared to be 'in charge' but was met with a stoney silence.
'How odd' I thought to myself, feeling a twinge of guilt for perhaps intruding, of making a sound, as I made a brief tour of the shelves. There was an elderly man, stooped into the letter G, book in hand, it's faded leather cover matching his parchment skin. I discovered another man, East European with a big nose, toward the rear of the shop, uncomfortable in the narrow space between tottering shelves.
'Perhaps the first man doesn't work here and I hailed him by mistake?' I pondered as I frown-skimmed the biroed labels, Science Fiction, Photography, Biography. 'Perhaps he's actually deaf?'
I determined to leave, having nicely balanced brevity with politeness. I approached the counter at the shop door. The deaf man, now seated, had flakey skin on his thinning grey pate as he focused on a tricky book-binding repair, sellotape in hand.
"Thank you!" I smiled, standing opposite him, where he could acknowledge me without even raising his head.
Still nothing.
Perhaps he's deaf and blind as well, tending to rare braille books by touch? Or perhaps he was just a cunt?
I won't be back.

Speaking of book shops - world's most beautiful book store. I won't argue with that.

God knows why but I'm struggling with it, although it's really very good. Maybe it's my mood but normally I'd have whipped through 3 or 4 books whilst I've been reading this.
Love Almondine.

The Secrets of Flowers - Sally Page
Just started as a kindle version so...
I'm only 10% in and I've already guessed the ending. The writing is fair and the wanderings quite fun so I'll humour her.
ETA As a ten minute bedtime read, it was pleasant enough. Lots of focus on flowers, though I can't say it gave me pleasant dreams. Gave me an insight into being an old lady - you either become the gentle Flowers Lady or go down kicking like Fata
