I finished a classic! And I even sort of enjoyed it!

This is a little celebration post. Nothing too exciting really, I've got a stupid cold so I'm celebrating the little things. I just finished reading Jane Austen's Emma! I'm not one for classics I'm afraid. We had to read Lady Chatterley's Lover for book club once - hours of my life I'll never get back*. But I made it to the end of this one! Admittedly I did fall asleep 7 or 8 times while reading the first half of the book but really got into the second half and didn't want to stop reading!

So, yay for me, I feel like a really good book clubber (I felt bad last month because I didn't even bother to get the book to try and read) and am very pleased with myself!

Now I'm on to Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go so I can refresh my memory before I see the movie. Much more excited about reading that one again.

Since I'm sticking to the positives I'm loving Sparkadia's new album The Great Impression at the moment. We went and saw them play last week. So cool. I'm thinking I'll put the album on my work computer and listen while I work tomorrow to see if it helps my cold brain fuzziness!

If you've not heard of them here's a song for you!



Hope all is well!

*The only reason I got through it was because I was taking the bus to work at the time and I wasn't getting those hours back anyway.
