*g* I'm totally stuck now, and beflummoxed -- that's a word. You could look it up -- by one of her recommendations, "Aberystwyth, Mon Amour," by Malcolm Pryce. In fact, I'm cross eyed by it. As a result, I can hardly manage to sleep with wanting to read 'just one more page...'
[shakes head wryly] I'm sure that I'm missing half the jokes, but right now I'm twisted like a pretzel because it's so absurd! LOVE it, Nikki, just love it. I've gotten about half way through in a day, just because it's so -- absurd. The only complaint I have is that the Girl Scouts haven't shown up, but that might just be that they're too American to be relevant. If he were writing in America, he'd have the Girl Scouts or Campfire Girls lined up against the Druids.
Thank you for the recommendation, Nikki. Next I'll have to order "Last Tango in Aberystwyth."
