I haven't heard back from my Italian buddy - ah well, maybe I said something I shouldn't have - I wouldn't know!
I'm over halfway through "The Maggot" by John Fowles at the moment - intriguing. It's been a while since I've read any Fowles, after getting more than my fill last year while we were in Hotham. This one is easier to read than some of the others: but the content is odd. It's basically a mystery set in 17thC England, written to tell the same story from many characters' points of view but getting deeper into what really happened each time. Each character tells their story in the form of an interview being conducted by a lawyer. Which is interesting and intriguing and I can't put it down, but when I think of what has actually happened so far it isn't a lot. Plus there's wierd sex involved, the main character is a prostitute. And also a Quaker.
So there you go: something not God-related. (Except for the brief Quaker mention) A friend told me today that if you read my blog you assume I am a really Christian person. I chose to take that as a compliment...
