Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

2007-05-30 Only half good

This volume is the definative work on phenyl etheylamines (PE) that are used for "recreational" uses. It is a weighty volume, being some 2" thick. Unfortunately, the first inch of the volume is Shulgin's meandering "biography" of his life with PE, and to a chemist does not make much sense. This book should have been issued in two parts so that those who do not want to read Shulgin's drivel would be spared it.
But the second part - ah... the second part, to a chemist it is shear heaven. Shulgin really DOES know his chemistry, and the syntheses he describes are poetry - however, the kitchen sink chemist who is making them to sell on the black market would not get joy from this section - it is PURE organic synthesis, and the processes Shulgin describes would be difficult to replicate outside of a university or industrial lab. But to read it ( for an organic chemist) is to be transported to the seventh heaven. For this reason and this reason alone, I award it five stars
