Jul. 19th, 2005 01:03 pmHarry Potter mania. I really must try reading them one of these days.
Very humid and hazy outside today. The fog isn't still quite all lifted, if that's what it is.
Coworker had her baby yesterday, 9 lbs 4 oz. boy. Gavin Joseph. She's no bigger than a minute. Dunno if it was c-section or not. ouch!
Am just starting a book called Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. Story about a young woman who goes to a country house to be lady's maid for a young orphan. But she's from the rough South borough of Victorian London, living with thieves and is one herself. She's been talked into a situation where a male family friend is going to get the young orphan to marry him, inherit her £15,000 pounds and then abandon her in an asylum. The "lady's maid" gets a cut of £3,000 if it's successful. It's not a love story, more intrigue and skull duggery i expect. Has anyone read any other books by Sarah Waters? I do like the way she writes so far though i'm not that far into the book yet.
Alice Cooper is on tour in the UK this fall. Damn, not January. Harvey is on at the Royal Exchange Theatre when i'm there though,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
