Still a really good read and I think it served its purpose which was scaring the hell out of people about drugs and rehab. I've been sitting on The Secret History for a while now as well. Don't know why. ? . 84 degress? You wuss. Ya wanna talk hot and humid, try New Orleans in August. It's like hell on earth. Drinking icy cold adult beverages usually helps. If nothing else, you'll pass out and have a few hours of unconcious respite. I didn’t see what all the fuss was about with the Frey book either.

Thank god everything but the outside is air-conditioned. I loved TCP&TW too, although I wish he hadn't of sped it up so much at the end. Did you know he's written a collection of stories called The Apple that features Sugar? I keep meaning to order a copy from the UK, since I don't think it's available on this side of the Atlantic. I have an unread copy of The Corrections - is it worth reading? Welcome to the South! Thank god everything but the outside is air-conditioned.

I have an unread copy of The Corrections – is it worth reading?

I read it over a year ago and thought it was a great dark and moody novel written in the fashion of Harriet the Spy...but, though the writing was great, I remember I didn't like it very much. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it if you've read it. I loved <em>The Crimson Petal and the White</em>! I did think the first half was a bit more interesting than the second. But I'm still waiting for Mr. Faber's next novel... Have you read Tarrt’s The Little Friend?

Which is sounds like you are doing quite a lot of! When it’s hot there is nothing else to do except stay inside an air conditioned room and read. Which is sounds like you are doing quite a lot of!
