A Love Story and Guns

[anogete]

I finished Doris Lessing's The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four, and Five today. I don't think I've ever read a stranger love story. Oddly enough, I don't think I've read a better love story. If you have an open mind, then I highly recommend it. It made me laugh on one page, then angry and frustrated on another. And, of course, the true test of any love story: did it make me cry? I'm not going to deny getting teary-eyed at my work while I was covertly reading it instead of dealing with the small stack of paperwork on my desk.

The shooting range was super busy this evening when we went after dinner. I kicked Jason's ass. He took the Rutger 9mm with him since it hasn't been shot in forever. He sucks with the Rutger because he's so used to the .40 Glock. At least I wasn't the worst shot in the room. A girl had come in there with her husband or boyfriend right before we got there. It was pretty obvious she had never shot before because her target had bullet holes all over it in no particular pattern. Usually, I'm stuck up in a room with a bunch of guys who do competition shooting. I don't even know if I could hit anywhere on the target if it was twenty-five yards back.

Oh, I absolutely love that book - I agree it is a great love story!

On an entirely different note: I tried to e-mail you a couple of times last week, but have no idea whether that worked or not as I'm having problems with my mail account.

I had no idea you've read this! I actually don't even know anyone else who was aware of the book, as far as I know. I was so impressed with it, and now I'm afraid that the next novel in the series won't be up to snuff with it.

Ooh, another book to go on my 'to read' list! *squeals*

Man. I need to buy a gun. So expensive. *sighs* I qualified on 9mm in basic, but that was years ago. Now I just clean up at the arcade. 8P

Guns are disgustingly expensive. I cringe just thinking about dropping $500 bucks on a decent one. The Bersa Thunder .380 is a nice little gun that usually retails for around $200. I'm thinking of getting it instead of one of the more expensive models.
