The listener
Still feeling somewhat drained and rubbish. Listened to the unabridged audiobook of The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. The character Hannah loves to be read to, and so it was apt. I really like the book, just as I did the film. Schlink is a professor for public law and the philosophy of law, and sometimes works as a judge. And his expertise informs this fascinating work about post war Germany and its moral dilemmas, which among other things is also is a story of doomed love.
Otherwise a rather wasted day. Bug making me feel tetchy, and lacking motivation. Spoke to Anton who phoned to crow intolerably about Manchester United again. And to Bob who phoned to talk about Carl's visit. And finalised with On Track arrangements for an interview next week, and emailed Betsy.
Lorraine came by again tonight, for cups of tea before collecting Beth after she had seen a musical in London. On that tremulous note I have decided to see Sweeney Todd, starring young Beth and Mark. I might take a hipflask.
