Picked up three books from Amazon recently, two of which arrived today.

* The Gun Seller, by Hugh Laurie
* What Einstein Told His Cook 2, by Robert Wolcke

the one that hasn’t arrived yet:

* The World According to Clarkson, by Jeremy Clarkson

I’d read WETHC1, and so getting WETHC2 was sort of a no-brainer. I’ve been watching Mr. Laurie in House, so that was sort of a no-brainer, and I’d just finished I Know You Got Soul, by Jeremy Clarkson and loved it, so that was also a no-brainer.

I had time to read the books today, to boot, due to a bit of a cold I picked up sometime last night. Whee.

The Gun Seller reminds me strangely of Kerowack’s book, in some respects – lots of wordplay, and just overall sort of an odd situation. Not really similar settings or content in any respect, but there’s a definite similarity to the overall style, I think.

WETHC2 is good, so far – basically a collection of food columns written by a witty chemist. Good stuff, both educational, and entertaining.

Bleah. Back to bed for me. Gotta get better by tomorrow, I don’t have any PTO accrued. Alas!
