		<description><![CDATA[There are people who love being read to &#8211; that is, someone else sits down with a book or magazine or newspaper in front of them and reads aloud. I know several people who like this.
I&#8217;m not one of them.
I have often wondered if my childhood had anything to do with this (it probably did, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone has convinced me that my life would complete if I purchased one of those newfangled iPod things. You know, touchscreen. Exactly like my trusty PalmOS device had for the last &#8230; uh &#8230; decade, but cooler? Yeah, one of those. It apparently allows someone to listen to music too, but I wouldn&#8217;t know about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two cutesy adaptions (or derivations or mashups) that I thought I&#8217;d share.
Batman by Dostoyevsky. Fairly self explanatory, I believe.
The complete set of CDs from Mark Vidler&#8217;s mashups for download. I listened to CDs 1 and 3 last night. Some of them are rather bizarre mashups and the man appears to have a serious fascination with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last HP post. I promise. No, I mean it. No matter how amusing subsequent events are; I&#8217;ll restrain myself from posting. You know, people look upon my reading of Harry Potter with a mixture of disdain, despair and amusement. At my age? Reading a children&#8217;s book? The horror, etc. This is the ideal time for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, more HP7. I can&#8217;t stay away from the soap opera, the claims, the counter-claims. The accusations, the cries of betrayal, the inconsistencies in dialogue and plot points touted as proof of a fake. It&#8217;s wonderful internet history.
Yes, there may be spoilers. Usual warning applies &#8211; I try to keep the references vague and only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harry Potter 7. Yes, it&#8217;s been available for a couple of days now. Yes, I&#8217;m reading one of the dodgiest copies around. Slowly, labouriously. Why? Can&#8217;t I wait another 4 days? I don&#8217;t know really. It just seems useful to get the read out of the way during the week, for some inexplicable reason. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the possible exception of The Silence of the Lambs, every effort is made to portray Hannibal Lector as someone merely tragically flawed rather than an out and out psychopathic monster. He is often shown acting appropriately for the hero of the piece instead of the villian. Therein lies the moral dilemma. You want him [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And there it was, the much anticipated Christmas weekend. Where I could potter around yon olde residence, reduce the reading pile by a book or four, hack away at some stray bits of code I&#8217;d been meaning to work on, have the TV humming in the background and of course, perform some culinary experiments.
Yes, experiments. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading The Scheme Book and a slightly dog eared Military Maxims of Napoleon which I had lying around. Both completely reasonable things to be reading, given what I&#8217;m doing next week &#8211; but somewhat strange companions. Now, Machiavelli and the Scheme book? That sounds vaguely plausible.
By the way, no I am not planning [...]]]></description>
