Cooking the book: it’s a slow burner

Since the concept of Book Night was thrown into the pot, there followed a froth of bubbling excitement, superseded by a gentle simmer, as books were bought & diaries synchronised. Finally, we have a date in the diary for the first Book Night: Dec 3rd.

Some of us (me included) have not even read the book yet. Me Cheeta has been exceedingly good so far — funny, moving, clever and beautifully written, with impressive descriptive powers (that had me reaching for a pen to underline passage after passage).

But still, I have not finished it. Sleep deprivation (let me use the new parent card just this once) has played a part, easing me into a nasty habit of post-dinner sofa coma. I will do better — and, by Dec 3rd, I’ll have a thing or two to say about that Hollywood chimp’s memoirs.
