stoopbeckI FINALLY HAVE A COPY OF THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS!! I AM SO EXCITED! YAY FOR BOOKMOOCH!
I just hope it's not disappointing, like Stranger in a Strange Land, which had come so highly recommended. SHAME ON YOU, HEINLEIN. WOMEN ARE PEOPLE, TOO. I got so disgusted with the lack of dimension in his female characters I never even made it to the dirty bits of the book. SAD TIMES.
But The Day of the Triffids is already awesome.
Poor On the Road! I promise I haven't forgotten you! You were just too rich and dream-like and there is only so much of stream-of-consciousness-type writing I can take in one sitting!

AND WHERE ARE THE EXCITING PARTIES WITH THE LADIES, ANYWAY?!no subject
