altariel | Comfort reading

I was supposed to be seeing Pirates of the Caribbean this evening, but I've come down with some nasty little virus, transported back from the US by Mr A., who acquired it on an internal flight somewhere between California and Texas. He's been ill all week, while I've just had a bad sore throat, but this evening I went all flaky after the massive exertion of walking to the shop and bringing back a bag of potatoes.

So instead of going to the cinema (*sob*), I'm rereading Bujolds. Diplomatic Immunity arrived this morning (I was waiting for the UK paperback edition to match my set, but caved in after prompting over the weekend). A new Bujold always necessitates a reread of favourite bits of earlier ones, which is not a hardship since I love them. Today I was mostly rereading Barrayar, Memory, and - of course - A Civil Campaign. And started the new one.
