Another book promotion. Lalala

I've rather boldly betrayed my long-time love, Fantasy, and have been charmingly seduced by the world of Romance. I've just finished 'Rosie Dunne', a novel by Cecelia Ahern, who is supposedly the writer of the famous book 'PS. I love you' (which I have not seen or heard about).

Quite engaging really, it's one of the few times I've read something that's not a narrative. Instead, the book consists of letters, emails, smses, instant messages, between two people, Rosie and Alex, two people who are meant to be together but just can't seem to get it right. It's not until they have each turned 50, before they realise that passionate love is possible between best friends.

An amusing exerpt from a letter that baby josh, actually his father Alex, wrote to his best friend Rosie.

Dear Rosie and Katie (Rosie's daughter),

Thank you for the teddy you sent me for my birthday, I call him "Bear." Daddy made the name up all by himself, he is very clever. I love to chew on his ear and drool all over him so that when Daddy hugs him, it leaves my slobber all over his face. I also like to throw Bear out of my cot in the middle of the night and then scream at Daddy until he picks it up for me. I just do it for the laugh, Daddy doesn't need to sleep. He's only here to feed me and clean my diapers.
Anyway I better go now, I have a very busy schedule, I'm being fed at nine o'clock, followed by a burping, and then I'm going to try to take a few steps across the living room. I know I can do it... one of these days I won't land on my bum...

Thanks for Bear,
Love you and miss you both,
Josh (and Daddy)

Some parts are quite witty really. I think Lynn might like this. I had a good laugh.
