the CEO of the sofa
Mum, who's been steadily refining her book choices for me over successive recent Christmases, gave me P.J. O'Rourke's The CEO of the sofa this time around.

Nevertheless, the rest of it's full of his usual descriptive humour, not too dissimilar to . I've learnt just how exciting it is to hang around the U.N., plus a few useful things about cigars, which almost helped me out when Michael was relating a Cigar FAQ to me after last night's film.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.
