A FRACTION OF THE WHOLE

So, I didn't read any of the books I borrowed except for the Bridget Jones one, which was funny. Just wasn't in the mood for them I guess. Instead I read a book called I wanna be your Joey Ramone by Stephanie Kuehnert. It was OK but basically screamed "I'VE STUDIED CREATIVE WRITING FOR FAR TOO LONG". But it was alright and anyway, I found out that one of her teachers happened to be no other than the great Irvine Welsh, in which case I probably also would've stayed for way too long. Anyhoo, finished that, read Men mest av allt vill jag hångla med nån by Linda Skugge which is such a great book and now I'm reading A fraction of the whole by Steve Toltz which is so. Fucking. Amazing.
