Book
I've started to read this really interesting book by Mil Millington, a book recommended by Richard. It's about this guy who escapes death, not like a magician more that he was supposed to be in a situation where he would certainly have been killed had he not been forced, by his girlfriend, to return towels that he had bought the previous day (he tells it much better than I do hence why he is a famous writer and I am writing this and boring all of you). Anyway as he is held up and doesn't make it to the place he is supposed to be he is saved by coincidence, fate, god or the choices he makes. After this event his life has become a series of extremely tough choices i.e. does he leave the supermarket now or in another minute his thinking being if he leaves now will he set in motion a series of events that will lead to a catastrophe or if he leaves in one more minute will he avoid said catastrophe. Should he have coffee from the coffee machine or tea or nothing at all. If he has nothing will that make the water machine fail and will it tip over and cause the electrical appliance to start a fire or should he take the coffee as he might need it later to give him the edge when he is crossing the road which will alert him to the passing car which would otherwise have hit him. So instead of making these decisions he ends up standing at the exit of the supermarket or in front of the coffee machine simply unable to determine which action is the right one. I found this idea fascinating how much thought you could put into each and every thing you do and how this would eventually make you insane. I know I can over think things but this really is the extreme. I also started to wonder whether my life would be completely different if say I was always 10 minutes late for everything, well lets say 10 minutes early as that seems more unlikely, would I be where I am now? Anyway it's quite a thought provoking read and I do enjoy reading it on the tube as it passes the time. I just wish people would keep it down when I am trying to read, tsk. 23:23
