It’s 3:41 a.m. and I am working on an office assignment. I really, really wish right now that I wouldn’t have spent 12,000 bucks on a pair of stupid jeans and a stupid kerchief top; it’s too sequinny to be a kerchief and too small to be a top. What was I thinking? I don’t have that kind of lifestyle anymore. Of what use is it? Maybe if there’s a runny glittery nose somewhere, I can pass it on. Or wait, it’ll be my nephew’s first birthday next year. I’ll just be the most inappropriately dressed aunt then. Sheesh! If I had saved that cash, I wouldn’t have had to work at 3:41 a.m., or even 3:42 or 3:43 a.m. Instead, I’d be in bed and have all my delectable reads spread all around me and I’d dip into them as and when I felt like it. (I read more than one book at a time.)
Here’s a list of what I’d like to be reading in the next few weeks:
· A million little pieces by James Frey
· Tender is the Night by Fitzgerald
· The moon and sixpence by Somerset Maugham
· Liar’s Poker by Michael Lewis
· Midnight’s children by Rushdie
· Inventing memory by Erica Jong
· Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown
Maybe I should just wear the shiny top and jeans right now and sit down to work. That’s a really cheery idea! And, the expression on the milkman’s face when I open the door is worth looking forward to.

I have read the Great Gatsby. In fact, that's why I got tender is the night. There were also some short stories of his on-line - tales from the jazz age. They seemed interesting.
Hi Serendipity,
first of all, very, very cute sheery flower! And secondly - sheesh! i wish it was a typo...what it was..it was a colossal mistake
Hi Dewdrop,
Julian Barnes, hmm...you are the second person to have recommended him any books you'd suggest?
Hi Uptown,
I've started on a million little pieces but that's the next one on my list. :-D
Hi anon,
You actually think I'd spend so much money on a top I didn't think I looked good in? he he he! By the way, 'bootcut' jeans can't salvage everything.
