Bookage

A quote from near the beginning of Bangkok 8. The narrator is a Bangkok cop and a devout Buddhist, as is his partner, who is the person the narrator's referring to in the passage:

A more advanced soul than I, he gives no sign of the disgust he feels at being trapped in this pollution called life on earth. He would not wish to poison anybody else's mind. Nevertheless, he smacks his hand somewhat violently against the glass of the sentry box and yells at them to wake the fuck up.


I like it so far and sincerely hope that this continues through the rest of the book, because there's a sequel out called Bangkok Tattoo.

I also bought Mary Gentle's A Sundial in a Grave: 1610. Lois McMaster Bujold's The Hallowed Hunt is due out in a few days, and I'm awaiting it with anticipation.

[ edit ] I love playing Bookworm, but I end up spending far too much time going "Snarvid is a PERFECTLY good English word, I'm sure!"
