This is the confession of Dominic Francis Hood - Roman Catholic, sadist, conspirator to murder, witness to a miracle. Dominic's childhood had the usual cardinal points: the love of his family, a vague belief in God, a general curiosity, an emerging libido. But after he witnesses a miracle performed by Father Ignatius Malone, Dominic realises some part of him is skewed. Instead of becoming attracted to good, Dominic finds himself stimulated by the idea of other people's pain. And he knows that the mere fantasy will never be enough. WEATHERCOCK is the great modern moral inquiry, by one of England's brightest and most confronting young novelists. By turns hilarious, appalling, celebratory and sad, it is an investigation of profound temptations and those human weapons - sometimes formidable, sometimes frail - we bring to bear against them.

There were some little joys this week. But that's what makes my day sometime.
1. I sold a small painting and some wine glasses last weekend at the markets
2 Finally received a new microwave after mine died in only 1 year. It took a month 😳
3 All my Christmas cactus are blooming
4 I bought a new dis rack. They are hard to find
5. The weather has been really nice for doing things outside

Megabooks @ReadOrDieRachel 85 is about as cool as it gets here, so it was pretty awesome! 7y
queerbookreader @ReadOrDieRachel If it's any higher than 73 degrees it is officially too hot for me. I don't get how people can survive when the coolest the weather gets is 85!! How do you do it @Booksandcooks ?? 7y

Lol not sure what frak is or why frak is lame but..... 😂😂 #wtforecast @Books_Wine_Repeat

Books_Wine_Repeat I'm assuming frak is the censored version of f*ck. Lol. You can adjust the profanity settings in case you're a pirate like me. 😜☠️ 7y
Bostonmomx2 @Books_Wine_Repeat lol I know, I was just being silly. I have it on some but if it's not offensive enough, I'll turn it all the way on 😂😂 7y
melrailey Frak was the word used in Battlestar Gallactica as a curse. It was basically interchangeable with f*ck. 7y

The confession of Dominic Hood - Roman Catholic, sadist, conspirator to murder, witness to a miracle. Equal parts disturbing, witty, shocking, and comic, this is a brilliantly written story about a boy and his journey into adulthood, as he lives his life while trying to resist his darkest desires.

Owlizabeth Ooooh, love Glen Duncan! 8y

What's the worst thing you would do, if there were no-one to stop you?
As a boy, Dominic Hood thinks he has witnessed a miracle. As a man, he's looking for another - a reason to resist his darkest desires.
But Deborah Black is waiting. And time is running out.

Finally caught up on my reading and ready to start on my December TBR. My other fur-baby, Astrid, wants to be my reading companion today. 🙂
