About me"I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me." -Rudyard Kipling

"There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want."
~Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes)

"Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment." ~Henry David Thoreau

"Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own." ~William Hazlitt

OK, OK: I'm a very chubby, agoraphobic, sleepy, quiet cardiology nurse with two cats. I work mainly nightshift in a hospital 5 minutes from my front door- my real life is consequently very, very small and in books can I travel and meet people and experience the variety of life.

Noticed you liked The Virgin Suicides, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Hello, you've been near the top of my 'members with..' list for a while, so I thought I'd drop in and see you. It's interesting that our overlap contains a lot of my favourites. And your first quote (Cat) is something I say quite a bit myself(although usually about my younger son)
I was amused to see that your Barchester novels are all tbr except The Warden, as it's the same with me!
best wishes,
Goldengrove.
