I would like to tell you about the diary I just finished. That's right. Diary. It is a novella that is entitled, "100 Unfortunate Days." It was written by Penelope Crowe. Have you ever watched the film "Pink Floyd's The Wall?" We get to see what Pink says and does, but have you ever wondered just what he was thinking? At first glance, Crowe's work here might seem random. I assure you it's not. Read it again. You will see a thread here and there, a method to the madness, as it were. This really is a brilliant piece, loaded with substance. Enter the mind of a madwoman. You'll see glimpses, I think, of how she got there. I believe you'll find traces of truth as well as slivers of insanity, and perhaps far worse. You may even find it dangerous to read this book - especially during three very particular times per day. If you have a cat, keep a steady eye upon it. It knows far more than it's letting on.
