Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

Fabulous, thanks for asking! Steak and merlot, complimentary champagne with a creme brulee, lots of tipsiness and sweet Southern drawls 😉

Love the picture. Of course, only us old people could get it, but hey!
And I wholeheartedly agree with the words. I’ve been trying to do just that these past few years. Find my quest, my life’s aim. I may not have found it yet, but… I’m getting nearer, I can feel it 🙂

Well, isn’t it what life really is? An endless quest for something? For some, the something is material, for others, it’s more spiritual. For me, I think now it’s closer to inner peace and unconditional love. I’m getting there 🙂

It was written as irony/ sarcasm… interesting that no one else seems to have picked up on that! 🙂
