Truck carrying flammable liquids rolled over halfway through my route to work today (not near me, just on the route), so we had to make a detour. Wound up being 15 minutes late to work. Ah well, at least I wasn't close by when it happened - apparently drivers that were couldn't leave the area.

Gave me a little extra time to read Tigana, so that was good. I'm a little more than halfway through - 53% or so, to be exact. I don't know if I should give thoughts so far or wait until the story finishes.

I gotta say, though, I'm liking Dianora. She's like this weird blend of Danielle and Az in my head. (Man, I really am lame.)

Edit: I realize that there's a certain amount of stupidity/early-morning-itis that goes into saying "53% or so, to be exact." Go me.

You're reading Tigana! I need to start that!

Hmm, Tigana. I'd be interested in what you think when you're through with it. I read it back in high school, when I was probably too immature to appreciate what the author was trying to do with his POV choices.

What IS it with you and your bus route?

That's troubling. Nobody out there has a voodoo doll with your name on it, right?

Of all people...

...why your hairdresser? Don't you have more concrete and definitive enemies?

(Not including me. Grade 8 was many, many years ago. I destroyed my voodoo doll of you during math class in Grade 11, which was also many years ago. You lived through the doll's destruction, so unless my voodoo has some horrific lag...)

Truth be told, I have no idea what tradition says. I'm not exactly up-to-snuff on my voodoo know-how. (Fact is, I never actually owned a voodoo doll, of any sort, let alone one with your likeness.)

Your logic is sound, though. My first assumption was that you had a personal vendetta against one of your past hairdressers, like I do.

I remember vary little about Tigana, other than there were lots of times I wanted to grab the characters and make them do the right thing.

Right thing that the reader can see but the character has no idea of. I can't go into more details without spoiling stuff. Plus I have forgotten a lot of the details.
