Reading rubbish

Man I’m reading a load of rubbish at the moment, and I’m not ashamed to say I’m loving it. This year alone I’ve read 5 books already! It’s not as though my day job is particularly hard at the moment but there’s some kind of peace in my world that I can get lost in a few chapters of rubbish before I go to sleep or at the weekend.

And while I’m reading rubbish, the Mister is grappling with a very grown up book. If that old rule – if you don’t know 5 words on the first page then the book is too hard for you – applies, then he should definitely have put the book down. However he’s persevering – it’s about social physics. Hmmm, I know what those 2 words are but together as a phrase?!

So my books are like:

  • a girl spent the whole book avoiding her new flat mate and convinces herself he’s a very shady character, an assassin or something like that, but in the end he’s just looking for his birth mother and they get together in the end.
  • a girl runs a club and it goes bad, she ends up bankrupt and while trying to hide and get her life back together she tolerates the love of a guy trying to help her whilst being crazy about another guy but in the end he’s a bit of a sh*t and she gets together at the end with the first guy who never stopped loving her the entire book
  • a girl goes to live in a small village to housesit for her parents while the place sells to get over a recent break up and spends the whole book avoiding the local crim who despite being hated by half the village is set up to marry the outcast daughter of one of the village notaries, but in the end he cans the marriage on the day and gets together with her in the end.
  • a girl takes a job for a guy she quite fancies although before anything can happen her ex who dumped her comes back into her life with offers of marriage and a new house although it turns out he’s  a 2-timing scoundrel and she gets together with her boss at the end
  • a whole lot of girls wrote in about their ‘boy’ problems only to be told by the writers of Sex and the City that ‘He’s Just Not That Into You. Cut him loose.’

And now I’m onto:

  • a girls running a hotel and is avoiding the overtures of a very handsome bad boy, let me guess, they’ll get together at the end

And the Mister’s book has stuff in it like:

The Physics of Group Motion

Vicsek had established himself as an expert on the growth and form of non-equilibrium systems, such as branched clusters formed by diffusion-limited aggregation.

(God I really am reading a lot of rubbish!)

OG, they sound like my cup of tea:-).

I’ll pass the sequel to the one about a whole lot of girls wrote in about their ‘boy’ problems only to be told by the writers of Sex and the City that ‘He’s Just Not That Into You. Cut him loose.’ once I’ve finished it!
