zeekie: take two.

I've just finished reading David Gerrold's "The Martian Child", of which a movie adaptation starring John Cusack has been made.

Gerrold's book is the second book that I've finished in as many weeks, the first being John Scalzi's most readable "The Android's Dream".

This - the reading of two books in as many weeks - is quite remarkable. For me, that is. I believe I have not managed to do this since junior college.

Of course, neither book has been quite "The Line of Beauty", or even "Never Let Me Go", so it might just be my choice of books at play.

And then there is also the fact that for the first time since, well, for the first time ever, I have no easy access to television.

Which is somewhat unfortunate for someone who's now a TV blogger (by the by, the blog has been launched - we shall see how it does).

But I find that I quite like it - the not having of television.

Every day when I come home, I pour myself a drink, settle into my comfy cushioned chair, and either watch a Netflixed DVD or read a few more chapters.

These days it's been getting colder, so I wrap myself up in my quilt as well.

And it's all been just - if I may, content-ing.
