Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies

beelikejMom made me a carepackage for Easter. \o/
I've updated my readinglist, hope to add some reviews this (long!) weekend. I started reading The Late Hector Kipling by David Thewlis this week (the advanced reading copy from uncorrected proofs*) and so far I'm enjoying it very much. I especially love the ease with which main character Hector is painting the scenes; he is so to the point the words give me instant feelings. Besides a tiny arousing bit, I'm sharing an example of the stupid conversations he has with his friends. I'm quoting behind the cut to protect those who like to discover books by themselves.
From page #21, Hector and his girlfriend:
I walk over to Eleni and put my arms around her. I kiss her on the top of the head. Her body's all warm en she smells of sleep. I want to fuck her.
From page #50, Hector and friends:
I sneak a quick look around the bar. Everyone else seems to be having normal conversations.
A minute goes by. Lenny's staring at the clock like it's gonna draw a gun on him. And then: "It's an easy thing to bring horror into a room," he says. "I could cut my throat open with this glass right now."
"Go on, then," says Kirk.
"But you'd have a task to get happiness in as fast."
"What if that girl over there," says Kirk, waving his pint at some little piece of jailbait in the corner, "walked up to you and said she's in love with you and needs to take you down into the bog for a blow job?" Kirk got here early and he's a couple of pints up on us.
"Like I say," says Lenny, "it's an easy thing to bring horror into a room."

That sounds like excellent reading. Except for the brief mindfuckery I experienced, because I know an Eleni and she's seven :p.
