Oblivion
Dear Prakope,
Ahem. Sincerest apologies for taking 7 months to get to the book you recommended 9 months ago: Oblivion. However, in my defense I know you read it once and the life it would have led on one of your dusty bookshelves isn't nearly as exciting as the life it's currently living in my vanilla-scented Eden.
Until last night.
When Oblivion and I curled up in bed together, it was pure magic. Bright sparks of light popped and crackled as my focused eye scanned the page while my wandering eye checked out the picture of the author is his cute puppy (you think I'm kidding here). What was the name of the short story I was supposed to read again? Taurus... something? Neon something? Sounds like "car" is all I remember. After all 7 months of memory is a lot to ask from... Ooooooh, bright shiny things!
I'm now reading said short story, and this verbose message is to let you know it may be some time before you get the book back as I will soon be hooked in to the other shorts as well. Plus, see note about author's cute pup.

PS, Has everyone read The Pirates: In An Adventure With Scientists?! Aaaaarrrrr.

I saw the Pirates book in my local branch of Borders just this weekend - I'm skint until payday, but wii definitely be picking it up next week. Looking forward to it!
Most of them are a bit heavy and quite boring. It was Good Old Neon that I wanted you to read.
It's pretty scary how close that story is to my life.
Besides with close to 300 books on my shelves at least the book won't get lonely.
