What are you reading now? (Chapter 2)

[JimC]

That gives me an idea...

"Call the maths teacher"

Catchy, ain't it!

[SteveB]

Has the same emergency ring to it as well.

I can imagine a flummoxed student being wheeled into hospital. "Call the maths teacher!" a paramedic cries out. "This boy has an unsolved integral!"

I'm reading a book my aunt wrote. It's kinda boring. Stories about her being a pharmacist. The cover isn't so bad, though.

It is a pretty cover. But, like, what kind of stories are there? I can't imagine that being a pharmacist would generate interesting stories

[Thinking Aloud]

I'm reading this.



So far, it hasn't disappointed.





And my finger positioning may not have been accidental.

Yay!

How far into it are you, TA? What do you reckon? More or less cock than the last one?

[Thinking Aloud]

Yay!

Reading "The Other One" now. There has been cock.

So, you've read past page one?

Reading "The Other One" now. There has been cock.

If you survived the first two stories, the rest should be easy.

I have, in fact, now finished the whole book. Wasn't expecting "The Other One" to go where it did - very cool idea. As ever, Harding displays an innate ability to discomfort his reader at every possible opportunity.

I'm like halfway through it. It's about...her crazy patients, like one of them has a bunch of newspapers piled up in her house, creating a huge fire hazard. Then there's the criminal who was escorted by two policemen into the pharmacy to take a dose of methadone. There's a bit of about the NHS, like communication between hospitals, GPs and pharmacists. Then there's the deaths and the success stories, like recovering from addiction. The relationships between patients and pharmacist. That kind of stuff.

Weird. You must do things differently in Canada. Patients generally don't have relationships with pharmacists here. It's just, "Hi, I'm Joseph Schmough and I'm here to pick up pills," and then, "Okay, here you go." That's about the extent of it, really

Ah, good. I was worried it was too obvious from the start, so that's a relief.

Which story, out of curiosity, did you like best? Or did you think was the most successful or worked the best?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, to try and stay on topic, I'm still ready Boy's Life. I still don't like it but it's a least a little more tolerable now at the 300-page mark because there aren't too many new characters being introduced at this point, and that means much less useless and pointless description. Like I give a fuck what color hair and eyes every goddamn character has.

We don't do that in Canada either. She's a pharmacist in Glasgow, Scotland. I'm not sure that's how they roll in Scotland either. Maybe she's the exception, I don't know.
