On beginning my challenge (and beginning to soften somewhat to the sad git that once was Piers)

Well the first day is nearly over and I'm well into Piers Morgan's recollection of the decade that was 1994 - 2004.  In fact, I'm nearly reached the end of 1995.  I'm surprised at how interesting the read has been so far.  The man was such a prat whilst he worked for Murdoch, but an interesting prat nevertheless.

This is definitely not a book I would ever have picked up by myself and then thought "I know, I think I'll read that," so it actuallyu is a great one to start the challenge with.  It truly epitomises what this little project of mine is all about - namely that one should not just choose things to do within the confines of an already well established little personal comfort zone.

I'll admit that I am now already looking forward to moving onto another tome from the list, even though my dear friend +kym brown has decided I truly am a nut job because it is just insane to "jump from book to book".  Clearly she has missed the point of what this exercise is about.  I hope now that she has read these words she can now easily follow the processes that make up my mind....  well, at least the first few calls - after that it all becomes a little to profound for anyone to be able to follow, I'm fairly certain..... ;-)
   

I must to bed, to bed, to read some more of Morgan's insights.  I forgot just how crazy the whole Diana & Charles break-up time had been - all those crazy little memories of the craxy little lives of  these Royal's other members of our society who held, sometimes all too briefly, positions of great power.  Piers truly was, in his own words, "trashing people's lives" during those days he was editor of News of the World... a "cocky little git" - but then those lives that he was splashing across his pages were hardly blameless souls and often desperately seeking the attention that he gave them.

On a completely different note, John Green's Looking for Alaska arrived in the post today - finally a book arrives that I have actually ordered from Amazon.  As it has reached my doorstep on Day 1 I feel I should add this one to my current reading pile.  It's less than 300 pages and it's double spaced, so this one should be a cinch to read in 3.5 days.  I will begin with this tome tomorrow.  Tonight, I will read some of Piers which, I fear, may take me slightly longer.

To my annoyance, I find that I am beginning to become a little fond of him even.....
