January 14, 2005

Dreamed of getting around to reading the Classics Illustrated comic of Victor Hugo's The Man Who Laughs, which disturbed me when I was little (I'll get around to reading it again someday) [I bought it on Ebay a few years later, but only got up the nerve to read it again a year or two ago]; Dick Tracey investigating some crooks living in caves near the quarry near our old home in Sackville, N.B.

We did the December accounts for our used books business.  Almost $400 profit!

Dinner was spaghetti.

Saw two Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns at the Cinematheque:  A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. (Both starred Clint Eastwood in the "stranger with no name" role.) The latter was especially fun.  The place was packed.

Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a really funny and entertaining novel!
