as anyone who knows me knows, it's *always* interesting. in fact, i can't go five minutes without whinging about *something*.
low points : too much travelling around at the moment, the major downside of the job
high points : some cool TV on at the moment, and life at home is pretty good at the moment, and Download is only 4 weeks or so away, yay! also, getting some writing done in my spare hotel quiet moments, which i'm quite pleased with. not quite the volume i want, but i think the quality is coming along nicely.
reading *lots* at the moment. motorway services are good for cheap books, but alas, i do have to admit to reading plenty of Da Vinci code wannabes at the moment. my problem is, that the basic premise behind the da vinci code is just so much toss, and even being written the way it is, it's a nice time grabber. most of the paperbacks in the book charts in places like asda now are "code" this, or "enigma" that, it's quite dull, and most of them are shite.
Clive Cussler needs to pull back on the whole "we've got a cool ship which looks like crap, but can take out small cities" thing. there are *some* nice technical touches, but Tom Clancy did it better....
James Patterson needs to write something *original*
Lee Child? well, actually Lee Child isn't too bad, except for the major conceit of the main Jack Reacher character which basically can bed anything with breasts in 5 seconds flat. other than that i quite like them.
i need to work out some way of selling on all my bloody paperbacks though, i'm buying them at the rate of 1 or 2 a week, coz that's the length of time they last these days, so we have a lot of them piling up now.....
