I don't love curry

This is the second time I buy something with curry and I just have to say...I can't do it.  Not only does it not have a pleasant taste but it stinks!  I had to run to the bathroom after I finished eating and go wash my hands.  As I'm walking out of the restroom I smell my hands and eew, they still stink.  I make a u-turn and go back into the restroom and scrub, scrub, scrub.  A guy totally saw me smelling my hands.  I wonder what he was thinking?  

Two, three washes and that curry smell just lingers.  I'm back at my seat and I'm wiping the table with clorox wipes, then I wipe my hands with it.  This has to work, right?  Nope.  Now my hands still smell like curry but now they have a slight hint of lemon.  

Is this stuff toxic?  

As an aside, there was one of those notes floating around on FB.  This one was a  BBC Booklist. It said that the average person had only read 6 out of the 100 number of books on the list.  So I read through and I have only read 31 books!  What is this, I say?  It can't be.  I consider myself a literate person.  My major in College was English and at one point I had 3 lit classes in one semester.  That has to count for something!  Except that, obviously, I have not been reading what these BBC members consider to be worthy novellas.  So I have decided to begin reading from this list.  I choose ATONEMENT because the preview of the movie is very familiar to me and because I love a good romance.  But it's just not working.  I am at Chapter 5 and it is like homework to read this.  The main character, Briony...I just can't sympathize with her.  She's this 13 year-old brat that I just want to drown her in that fountain that Ian McEwan spent two and a half pages describing in rich detail.  I think I should go for a lighter read.  Maybe something like BRIDGET JONE'S DIARY.
