I can't believe it is January. It is so warm and pretty outside. I came in at noon today, top down, wanting to just keep driving. I know coldness is coming soon, but not today. Makes me wish there were some sort of outdoor work to be done at the library. Maybe I could offer to wash the Director's car. I would totally do it on a day like today :-)
I don't have anything too interesting to share today. How unusual! haha! I can update you on my reading and stuff like that I s'pose. I have actually had really good reading luck lately. My last three have been complete winners. First, I read one I had originally picked up for Kick Back Dude. When he didn't get to it quick enough I called 'me first'. That one was JPod. It had some of Coupland's over-the-topiness, but it made me laugh the way it captured the creative ways that people think of to waste time in the office. Next, I read a book that I had meant to get to, but it was always checked out, and then I forgot. Anyway, it turned up on the shelf, so I got a chance to read the very sweet, touching The Year of Pleasures. Now, I am near the end of Running with Scissors, another one long on my list. It seems the library copy is gone for good, so Kick Back Dude ended up buying a copy and after reading it passed it on. I'm so glad that at least one other person in my family is a pleasure reader!
I recommend all three of these books enthusiastically. Oh, and if you need something pretty to listen to please try Rabbit Fur Coat by Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins.
nothing can equal something, you wrote, therefore something....wish I could have opened the sunroof today, but would have gotten snow and road brine on me...
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I trade books sometimes. She's a very fast reader and I'm not, and can zoom through a new book in less than a day. Then she comes too close to telling me all about it. We usually like the same kind of thing, and we both love James Patterson ("Kiss the Girls", "Along Came A Spider", "Cat n Mouse", etc.).
ReplyDeleteEvil-E: There is something so zen about something from nothing :-) This morning (Wed.) it was way too chilly to go topless...
ReplyDeleteTara: Oh, I like James Patterson too! He is a very prolific writer. Do you like John Grisham? I forgot that I have also just read The Broker, which was really good.
JPod is sitting in my to-be-read pile of books. I'll buy anything Coupland writes, it just takes me a while to get to them soemtimes.
ReplyDeletesoemtimes = sometimes... damn typos!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it MiniJonB. Post something after you read it, okay?
