The Fry Chronicles - the second part of the great Mr Fry's memoirs

The awaited second volume of Stephen Fry's memoirs has finally hit the shelves (well, at least the shelves of ONE bookshop in HK as far as I know) and yeah, though I haven't read it all yet (I'm currently on page 70 or other), SF is still in top form with regard to writing with characteristic Stephen Fry-ish (is that even a word? I guess it is now) aplomb, sincerity and hilarity. Just reached the part where he's just arrived at Cambridge. His hilarious representation of how the ordinary person views Oxbridge was hysterically funny...basically he says that most people think the majority of the people studying there are just toffee-nosed, pompous gits [which is not quite what he said but that is the general gist] and that most people would dearly love to 'mow those f***ers down' [that last phrase had me giggling insanely]. All of which is true in a way but as he says these Oxbridge people ARE people with the same feelings and fears as the ordinary person.

And I'll be able to continue reading the book (probably finish it too) since now it's Reading Week and therefore no lectures for an entire week...hurrah! But yeah, I should continually remind myself that I do have a lot of other stuff to do...like important things like assignments and research for my dissertation...
