Let's start with a little winter reading list. Here you see pictured a stack of the current tomes I am tackling, and interestingly enough, none are from the library! That's kind of weird for me. Actually, I was going to take The Book of Calamities (I love dark and disturbing books) out of the library, but then I ran across a copy at the Strand for five bucks and the rest is history. I'm about to finish Grace, which has been very entertaining (and was a gift from my lovely fashion-obsessed sister Erica), have only just cracked The Magic Mountain (which I found on the book-swapping table in my laundry room, and P has always been pushing me to read it, and Emma says it is one of the best books in the world, so I kind of have no excuse, I should at least give it a shot) and Crime (which I got off the discount table at St. Mark's Books and I'm kind of disappointed in, except that it contains a great short interview with one of my ex-boyfriends), Hark! A Vagrant is freaking hilarious, I defy you to read this without guffawing immediately (received it as a gift from my humor-appreciative sister Brook), and last but not least, The Art of the Personal Essay, which unsurprisingly has a lot of great stuff in it, and I'm reading because I keep threatening to write a personal essay or two (I bought this one for myself, full price. Wow!).
O.K., perhaps that was a bit too much information and a kind of boring topic for the first post in a long while, but heck, I'm tryin'!

welcome back~
read real books !!!
Very funny stuff. I agree. Nice blog work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes for the New Year.
