Late night reading

Some combinations are just destined to be fool-proof.

Take the following for example (in order of importance) :

• a pack of Oreo cookies
• a mug of milk
  
• a good book
  
• a comfy chair to lean back on
  
• blankets
  

After tossing around in my futon last night (unable to doze off properly) I decided to give up and do some reading. I picked up Gaiman and Pratchett’s Good Omens, which has never failed to make me laugh.

p. 315:

His wound from Nam (Viet Nam) was starting to play up*

*He had slipped and fallen in a hotel shower when he took a holiday there in 1983. Now the mere sight of a bar of yellow soap could send him into near-fatal flashbacks.

Gotta love great books!
