salmon fishing in the yemen is proving predictable. an easy read , it isn’t funny in the slightest. i have no connection with the make proagonist who is a wet limp character. i dont feel sorry for his life or his cirumstances, nor do i find them funny becuase they are a  parody of childlessness. he is weak and insipid.

i have no desire to keep reading this book, not becuase its overly wordy, au contraire, its piss easy to read, just bloody boring.

i capture the castle.

loved it, but the ending was shit – and the author was doing what cassandra herself ha mentioned int he book – tryig to leave the book at a point where you think about the charaters afterwards. she failed on that account.

i need a new book
