I meant to do a couple of things yesterday - work on a translation, maybe replace the inner tube on my bike's back wheel if feeling particularly calm. Instead I read Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall.

It's good-- I didn't love it as I did A Place of Greater Safety, but there's more action in APOGS, more grand sweeping happenings, a greater passage of time

Haha, "shocked hilarity" is right on. Reading this, it took me a moment to realize that the odd feeling in my face was due to the expression of a mild kind of horror dawning there!

oh sorry i forgot to reply!

It really-- you read about it and think, oh, god, hysteria is real, and oh, lord, when people go on about their womb dominating the rest of their body thank god they don't mean this.

It's enough to turn you into Shulamith Firestone, I swear.
