The decadence of words
13 March 2011 07:54 pmMy father in law has HUGE amounts of books. Now and again I go scouring through them, and today came across 'Goodbye to Berlin' by Christopher Isherwood, and picked it up out of curiosity.
And - I think I'm in love.
I'd forgotten what it's like to be seduced by writing, the way reading can feel like drinking a rich wine and you try to take it slow so it'll last, but you keep picking it up for just another taste...
Also - despite having only seen a couple of trailers - Matt Smith seems a wonderful choice, since I keep reading with his voice (and the inflections he uses) in my head.
(Now the question is, will I have to hunt down 'Mr Norris Changes Trains' before Saturday [when Christopher and His Kind is on]? Not to mention 'Christopher and his Kind' itself. Hmmm. *wanders off to amazon*)
