this is for caity and mum, mostly, but the rest of you should also have read all of DLS's books.

There is a community reading Strong Poison four chapters at a time.

After their interview, Peter leaves and skips through the road like a five year old because Harriet DIDN’T SAY NO and SAID HI TO HIM. And then he goes and doodles “Lord and Lady Peter Wimsey” and “Harriet Wimsey” all over his notebook in heart shapes.

The important part is that when [livejournal.com profile] ginamak wrote up this week's entry she managed to pick out, and look up, ALL the slang and references in Lord Peter's conversation. Which if you know these books, is a heroic feat of the first order. And i learned something.

I'm looking forward to next week, when the cook disparages garlic. It sparked a conversation with Mum wherein she confirmed that some people don't like garlic, really, and i first realised some people are odd.

EMILLLLLLY I NEED YOUR MOBILE NUMBER. I am transferring contacts from my phone to my SIM in preparation for getting a new phone and accidentally deleted you instead of copying you. And now I don't have your number.
