4th post for today, making up for lost week. Anasi Boys. just finished another book. as again, would like to share the writing style i like about these writers. makes me think "I wish I could do that," rather sadly. words in red are his words, which means i just quoted his quote. darn, how creative can one get.
Neil Gaiman writes..

Rosie's mother was not a woman given to gloating loudly, so when Rosie broke down in tears on the Chippendale sofa her mother refrained from whooping, from singing or from doing a small victory dance and then shimmying around the room. A carful observer, however, might have noticed a glint of triumph in her eyes. She gave Rosie a large glass of vitamised water with an ice-cube in it, and listened to her daughter's tearful litany of heartbreak and deception.
