Mar. 14th, 2008 05:27 pmSome quotes from this painful, funny, human novel (c):
…there were two parts of being a better person. One part was thinking of other people. The other part was not giving a toss about what other people thought. Sanding stale naan bread back to the kitchen. Kissing with tongues on Blackfairs Bridge.
...obviously there were worse jobs in the world (ratcatcher, astronaut…) but Jamie had never realised quite how far down the table parenting came.
