Gargantuan (2004)
“She’s looking down at the Racing Form. Her hair is hanging in two lank black curtains. Her nose is twitching as if an insect has flown in and is buzzing through one of her nostrils. It occurs to me that this isn’t what I’m supposed to be thinking of a woman I’ve bedded on two consecutive nights. I ought to be seeing a glow around her. But there’s no radiance coming from this girl and I don’t think Lucinda actually even likes me much. We’re just both lonely.
Suddenly she gets up, goes over to th...e oven, pulls open the broiler door, and removes two pieces of maimed toast. She smiles as she deposits these on my plate. I stare down at the charred bread. She stares too and, after a moment, finds a knife and scrapes off some of the blackness. It still doesn’t look appetizing.
“Thank you, that’s lovely,” I say. “Sure you won’t have some?”
“I’m sure,” she says.
“You’re gonna ride Mike for me this morning, right?”
She looks at me. Her nose twitches again. “Sure,”MoreLess

All this cat and dog nonsense that seems to be in ALL books nowadays. The damned animals rule the households and don't have enough brain to more than search for fleas.It's disgusting. Animals are not human beings by about a million miles distance. It's become an INDUSTRY to turn out animals that appeal to buyers, -like eggs. Cat crap is as bad as pig crap and could gas a whole household without trying.

How can a racehorse be classed as "diminutive" They have to be a certain size to race, I'm sure. Who would enter a pony in a race where horses are averaging 16 hands.... Would it eve be allowed??Write Review:
