I just finished the entire No. #1 Ladies' Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith, and I enjoyed it. Plus, I ate a lot of feta cheese while I read it, so now, whenever I think of the series, I think of feta cheese and feel happy. My point is that I recommend the series. The mystery is never particularly convoluted or clever, but the setting and characters are fantastic, and Smith completely immerses you in Africa. Check it out, and eat feta cheese while you read it. You'll be a better person for it.
Holly sent me this list, so you know it's funny:
The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs
Attn: Entrepeneurs Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as others see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:
1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is www.whorepresents.com
2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com
3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net
4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com
5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company… www.powergenitalia.com
6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com
7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always www.ipanywhere.com
8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is www.cummingfirst.com
9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website: www.speedofart.com
10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at www.gotahoe.com
As if that's not enough, check out Stuff on My Cat, and tell me this isn't gonna be a good week. Enjoy.
Yep, that would be Cumming, GEORGIA on the list.

Cumming is also home to Booger Hill, which is purported to be an "anti-gravity" hill.
Ah, the ol' home state.
I have a ticket to see Alexander McCall Smith in Edinburgh at the Book Festival in three weeks.
ReplyDeleteBooger Hill. Nice.
ReplyDeleteBrian, do you LIKE Alexander McCall Smith? I thought it was your dirty little secret that you didn't like mysteries. :)
