Library Bike!

[changeling]

The library trip was awesome. My chain came off the sprogget-gear thing (cam?) halfway there, but I fixed it BECAUSE THAT IS THE FLAVOUR OF AWESOME THAT I AM. And although I am out of bike-fitness, the trip takes me 20 minutes one way, which is not to be sneezed at. I may try to cycle there once a week while I'm scantily employed.

Here's what I borrowed, because it amuses me:

• Exploring the world of the pharaohs;
• The adventure of English : 500AD to 2000, the biography of a language, Melvin Bragg;
• Just a pilgrim, Graphic novel. Some sort of apocalyptic futureworld by Garth Ennis that seems similar to Preacher;
• Living dead in Dallas, Charlaine Harris. Seems to be one of those horror/chicklit books that are so popular right now;
• Shakespeare's trollop, Charlaine Harris. Murder mystery, by same. I fear it will suck, because my hitrate with "cute" American crime fiction is not high;
• Lost Christianities : the battles for scripture and the faiths we never knew;
• Seeds, Thomas Merton
• Death on the Nile, the original one with Mia Effin' Farrow. Also Peter Ustinov, Davin Niven and Maggie Smith, all of whom are pure awesome. Olivia Hussey is cute.
