Modhran: Yes, exactly. I have declared bankruptcy on my blog debt, and am starting fresh.

Corvus, I’ll welcome your insights into Gormglaith, if you read it. There’s quite a language barrier getting into it, but I’m starting to get into the rhythm of it and may even be gleaning some meaning. Early days yet.

I totally have to read a book titled Gormglaith. I can’t wait for one month from now when my available reading time is going to increase dramatically!

So this is like an email amnesty, where you decide you just have too much email in your inbox and decide to dump it all without responding?

I want to read a minute by minute recounting of the last 6 months, ladies.

heh.

Just glad to see you’re back.

Ah, you are SO in my head! I almost put up a second post soliciting suggestions for a site read. I have all that Rule Britannia stuff on deck, but will happily push it back in the interest of a co-read. I’ve got some 800 pages left in Pillars of the Earth so it’ll be a little while before I start something new. (Though we’re going camping this weekend, and I hope to make a substantial dent in it.)

The e-book I’m currently reading is Gormglaith, available for free online(Creative Commons licensed.) It’s weird and intriguing and I’m not sure yet if it’s something I would recommend, but have a look and see if it interests you. Otherwise, I’ll look at my shelves and you look at your shelves, and we’ll find something, I’m sure.

I had mixed reaction to the McClure. There were some great, laugh-out-loud sections, and I certainly empathize with her situation and her attitude about it, but I felt let down at the end, and it’s hard to put my finger on why.

I’m torn about Becoming Jane. I know it’s going to be complete tripe from a historical perspective, but from the swoony girl perspective, every time I see the commercial I want to run straight to the theater. Do let me know which side wins out, won’t you?

Also, we need to select a new site read. It’s been too long since we’ve read a book together. Lets do pick one neither of us have read before.

And, I’m going to go see Becoming Jane tomorrow night. Without you. This seems so wrong to me.

This seems like as good a way to deal with the gaps as any. Right then, picking right up as if no time has passed…

I see you’re reading Wendy McClure’s book. I was a loyal Poundy reader for a long time, so I’m curious to hear about the book.

Guess I ought to update my current reads, eh…
