A good day...a bad day

Last week suddenly hit on the idea of using the swaps from one to fed the other so that get the books I want. Did this and now swapping seven books with the USA in one day. This has now been converted into requests for these books.

The bad news? Well apart from will he find the time to read them do I hear you mutter? No ordered two books that were on my Guardian All Time Top 100. But one was the wrong book. It should have been Confessions of Zeno and I got the further confessions of Zeno. This is not even a complete book but fragments printed for completists( Came across this last week I like this, it sounds like a real curse word but I think we would use the more descriptive Anoraks ) And the other? I tore the first 21 pages as i struggled to open the package. It was all curves like a wrapped boiled sweet with a perforated middle that rips... and it does.

Ah well back to work now. :-(
