What are you reading now? (Chapter 2)

[tattuchu]

I'm like halfway through it. It's about...her crazy patients, like one of them has a bunch of newspapers piled up in her house, creating a huge fire hazard. Then there's the criminal who was escorted by two policemen into the pharmacy to take a dose of methadone. There's a bit of about the NHS, like communication between hospitals, GPs and pharmacists. Then there's the deaths and the success stories, like recovering from addiction. The relationships between patients and pharmacist. That kind of stuff.

Weird. You must do things differently in Canada. Patients generally don't have relationships with pharmacists here. It's just, "Hi, I'm Joseph Schmough and I'm here to pick up pills," and then, "Okay, here you go." That's about the extent of it, really

We don't do that in Canada either. She's a pharmacist in Glasgow, Scotland. I'm not sure that's how they roll in Scotland either. Maybe she's the exception, I don't know.

Maybe she's like Quincy ME. You know, the TV pathologist played by Jack Klugman? Even though he was just a pathologist, he single-handedly solved murder cases all by himself! Maybe your aunt is like that. I don't mean she dissects people (although who knows what she does in her spare time). I mean maybe she goes above and beyond the call of duty.

That certainly explains all the corpses in her house when I last came to visit. Dried up corpses are a fire hazard, you know. And we're back where we started.

Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro, al mio duolo, a'miei sospir!

[Jason]

My love, you restore my love, soothe my sorrows and my sighs!

Il mio amore, si ripristina il mio amore, lenire i miei dolori ei miei sospiri! :-)

Wow, what a great title for a book!

Salem's Lot. It's not great, but is the prime for the rest of his horror work. A writer in Maine, creepy childhood memories, and a small town driven crazy by supernatural events.

I wonder what happened to Stephen King as a kid sometimes.

I remember watching the TV adaptation of Salem's Lot when I was young myself. Frightening Saturday night viewing.
