9*9*9 update

So I am making slow progress here....because of @#$#$ Anthony Burgess.

He is So Boring.

Seriously.

I just finished volume 1 of his memoirs ("Little Wilson and Big God") and there's another entire volume on my list! He is very dull and I am annoyed with him. I thought these were going to be fun reads.

I also read "The Castle of Otranto" by Horace Walpole, which is dreadful but at least interesting. It's an early Gothic novel (late 1700s). Contains a lot about "Matilda's beauteous form" and characters saying things like "Forbear! It cannot be, for you are in mortal peril!"
