You tricked me on shaky ground..

So tired. Didn't make it to The White Rabbit tonight. Too much work to get done.

I've actually got King Creosote & Jon Hopkins on right now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgZ0cvBMFT8 - this is a good cover.. You can find them on YouTube if you want the real deal as well though..)! Good music to listen to while reading (but the album 'Diamond Mine' is far far too short.. Only 32.1 minutes!! These guys seriously need to get going on a new album- I'd like to imagine it to be incredible..)! But Moderat got me to work and back earlier. Try and see if you can get it on vinyl somewhere- its amazing to listen to on vinyl..!!

I bought a couple of new books today- John Fowles 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' today (Die Franzoesisch Leutnants Frau.. I bought it in German, 'cause I is cool like that!) I originally wanted The Collector, but they didn't have it- anywhere- in the whole of Freiburg!! I mean, come on! It's such an amazing book, you'd think somewhere would stock it, but no. Looks like I'm going to have to give in and buy it off Amazon.de- I'm a bit of an Amazon-phobe.. Ever since I realised that book and music shops won't exist any more in a few years if we just buy everything off the internet. And a world without book or music shops, my friends, will not be a good world. And I also bought Oscar Wilde's A Woman Of No Importance- I have a deep love for Wilde (I am a huge romantic at heart..) and I have had four/five months of not reading any of his works. And this is far, far too long. So I bought this as a quick, little read when I'm feeling down and need a good ol' English book to cheer me up.
So now I have- Doyle, Fallada, Fowles and Wilde, all on the go, at the same time. Maybe I'm being a little too ambitious. But they are all so good!! I also have a pile on my window sill, waiting to be read. Man- I need to stop going to school or work or something, I need to get reading these books!
And on that note- I am off to bed. To get some reading done.
Hope you all have something nice to read in bed too! -x
