17. Finishing a good book

There is also something a little sad in this but the satisfaction of finishing the book over-rides this for me. For christmas I got bought 'Dear Fatty', Dawn French's autobiography (I would definately recommend it). Now I have never read autobiographies, not because I didn't want to, I just never got round to it, but I thought as I had been bought it I would give it a go. It suprised me, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. It is written in a series of letters to people throughout her life, and I just loved the honesty. Sometimes she would talk about the laughs, the good times and sometimes she would talk about the bad times, all in her own style. When reading it I felt like she was letting me into her life a little, some of the letters are fan letters written when she was younger, some are fan letters written now, theres a couple which mearly contain a long joke (theres one near the end which had me in stitches), there are a few to her Dad who is no longer with us and many others but they are all very Dawn. I decided I was going to take it slowly just a few chapters a night (I'm a fast reader I can read a book a night but at the moment I dont have many books I want to read) and so I have been reading it for a few days now. It's nice to have finished it, to know my mental bookshelf now has another book on it. Thats what cheered me up today.
