As I am bopping around the work kitchen, singing in my head (thanks resound from my philistine workmates) I went from Alejandro by Lady Gaga (don’t ask, but did anyone else wonder if she/he was just another Madonna personality? No? Well, at least then I am unique) to wondering how many of the latest Whitcoulls Top 100 I had read.

hmm, not as many as I thought. However, I have The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as my "bus book" this week, and even tho the Examiner rated the movie "Eat Pray Snore" that's on my shelf too. As well as the new Lloyd Jones. Oh heck, I haven't read Mr Pip yet...
