Bless you, Hugh Laurie
Jun. 5th, 2007 08:40 amI find myself coming to adore Hugh Laurie. Earlier this summer I watched seasons one and two of House in which he plays a character that insults everything with less cranial capacity than he has, or people that are doing deeply stupid things at the moment, and sometimes he'll make cutting remarks if he thinks it will get him out of Clinic duty. In other words he a sarcastic misanthropic bastard, and I love him for it.
Right now, I'm reading his book, The Gunsligner and a mere 9 pages in I already find myself less inclined to wonder what near-to-hand object would inflict the best blunt force trauma. The book is gloriously self-referential and silly and full of snark. In short, it is everything that literature ought to be and I think I'll stick it on the list of things I would find amusing to have Mom buy me for Christmas.
I'm now going back to reading this lovely tome.
