BTW

yes, I am STILL reading "Les Bienveillantes" as I claim in the sidebar - though I seem to be stuck around page 300 or so. It's just so HUGE that I can rarely summon the strength to get it out of my bag. Plus, work is still taking up all of my time at the moment. Still, only another 500 pages of life behind German lines to go. After this, Proust will seem like Jilly Cooper. While we're on a sidebar note, did you see that SClub7 have finally nudged ahead of The Killers in my "Top Weekly Artists"? O tempora, o mores.
