What I'm reading now...


I'm currently reading Crocodile Soup by Julia Darling a story about Gert, a museum Egyptologist, who whilst telling us of her present troubled situation (with love and life) recounts her weird and wonderful childhood. There are mouthfuls of beautiful words in the book and it's so descriptive that it's almost like poetry. The chapters are nice and short which I always prefer as a "just one chapter before bed" type reader. It's laugh out loud funny and very clever. Not bad for a book I nicked from a holiday villa. Oh and the cover is brilliant!
