Unfortunately, the novel is dead.

Everyone here has read, on average, 19 novels over the past year.

Yeah, but they were all old ones.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Yeah, but they were all old ones.

@jenks reads new novels, I'm pretty sure. As well as old ones. Probably also a few that haven't been written yet, even.

I think it’s important to read the new stuff. You wouldn’t only listen to old music would you? The risk/reward balance is more skewed with new things and the guarantees of quality from old texts are seductive - they’ve hung around, they must be good, kind of thing. I’ve always been interested in the new, otherwise we’ll inhabiting a museum.

Sinuses. Always sinuses. Need to go to an ENT specialist really.

Otherwise, being overweight and unhealthy is bad for me all round. Tired all the time. Need to get back on the exercise ASAP.

After the divorce, Olivander had felt restless and melancholy... But now, in this place, this... place... It was special somehow, it had cured him of his loneliness, it was something in the sea breeze... and yet, and the same time, his spirit yearned for that great asphalt blacktop, yearned to once again wander the golden heartland of this country, this the great surrogate mother.

it's definitely not constant. it's intermittent, like every second. and it sounds very much like this:



i'm gonna wait a bit to see if it disappears like mr. tea suggested. i have also considered it might be psychic but what lousy super power is it hearing seagulls at night?

Hang in there hopefully it will pass. Many things do !

My right ear's been blocked for about four days now and my left's not so good either. It's amazing how odd anything to do with your ears can make you feel. I can still hear, but the right's really muffled, the left's a bit off and I feel a bit spaced out and underwater-y.
