Humiliation
Besides the n number of things I need to confess, this is the one that humiliates me the most. David Lodge just made the confession a little easier.
***
He taught them a game ... in which each person had to think of a well-known book he hadn't read, and scored a point for every person present who had read it.
**
'What d'you call the game?' Melanie asked Philip.
'Humiliation'
***
Now how difficult is that? There is no time. No leisure. I feel intellectually redundant. All this must change, and soon.
I am making a bid at amelioration by "Changing Places" with Lodge, but I hope I don't end up on square one what with the holidays coming to an end. Boo hoo. Where did Diwali go ?
Otherwise, I wait (not so patiently) for good friends to return. Come back, will you? Patience is an expensive commodity, and I cannot afford to run out of it.
Arbeit Macht Frie ? I sincerely doubt it !!
