Lymond's behaviour, as always, went to the limits of polite usage and then hurtled off into space.

Dorothy Dunnett, Queen's Play

Read an interesting (if repetitive, and with many interpretations I didn't agree with) little book called The Enigma of Francis Crawford.

Outraged that, with an entire chapter dedicated to games in the Lymond Chronicles, there was NO MENTION of this absolute gem of an occasion from Queens Play:

Isn't that what everyone wants to hear on Valentine's Day?

phelim o'liamroe, prince of barrow and the slieve bloom: *mistakenly accuses lymond of being a drunk and spills alcohol all over him*

Foolish of me to think that audiobook could help me read new books when I don't have the time to read ones.

I just..fell asleep as soon as chapter 2 started, again!?

Even old favorites can't make me stay awake either, guess I'm too tired these days.
