Tot
I was browsing in a second hand bookstore last night (hooray for bookshops that stay open late) and came across CSL’s A Grief Observed. I read half of it before bed. It is almost a journal of Lewis’ thoughts in the weeks after his wife died of cancer (which his mother and father had also died from). So far it is actually the saddest and most honest book I have ever read. I fear I won’t be able to see death as a natural part of life by the time I’ve finished it.

I’m interested in reading it after you matt if I may. This reminds me, you have my Watership Down book somewhere. Would make a loverly birthday pressie to have it back. love.
I was reading that in the uni bookstore (hooray for bookshops that don’t mind you reading books without buying them, and have big comfy chairs.) It’s interesting the way it oscillates.
WATERSHIP DOWN. I’m reading that at the mo. Kudos for being cool David.
