So what books go with which crumbly delights? Personally, I like to read Proust with a side order of tea and madelines. |

I just picked up Thomas Pynchon's V from the library, but I haven't been able to sit down and read it for more than 10 minutes at a time. my theory is this is due to my lack of pastries! I have plenty of tea biscuits, and even a few digestives. But no pastries! |

I read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas the other day, accompanied by a chocolate danish.
It was good! They both were! |

Butterscotch cookies are my one dairy sin! I can't resist the little buggers, with a bit of mint tea to dip them in. My mom makes me a batch of cookies every week with little orange flecks in them...
The other day I was reading Love in the Time of Cholera and I coughed and sprayed some tea on the book from my nose. What's worse is it isn't even my book...
Could it be that Literature + Pastries = Not such a good idea? |

Wasn't the book exceptionally good? It highlights thematic issues over sensationalist imagery in a manner which I found to be most pleasing!
I especially liked the doodles that he inserted, which were far more genuine I thought than those of a similar nature in other books! (cough, vonnegut, cough) |

Today, while eating donuts, we began reading Pygmalion aloud! I get to play Higgins, and I am most glad. Boy parts are always the best!
Sorry, Bearclaw, but Literature + Pastries = Good Things for me every time! |

It was fantastic! I loved that even behind all the crazy drugs shit you got the creeping feeling that something somewhere was fundamentally wrong. |

I was feeling a little down today after an exam, so I went to my local Travelling Man (I was actually going to buy some dice) and what did I see but Owly! I bought it and then went down the road and got myself a Danish pastry. One pastry and two heart-warming stories later and I was feeling much better. Thanks Andy! |
