OF COURSE....

I WOULD go and spend over $50 on two books right after I make a list. I was about to buy four, but good thing one was damaged and another wasn't there. Doesn't change the fact that I'll still search for them, though.

And DUDE...WHY are the hardcover bestsellers all CRAP?? The time when B&N gives out coupons for 50% off hardcover bestsellers is the time when they're all trash. Maybe that's why. All these bookies refuse to buy that waste of paper and they have to figure out some incentive.

I just bought the David Cross and Nick Hornby book, by the way. Quite happy, but I am thinking about returning Juliet, Naked. David Cross is definitely a keeper, methinks.

Books, books, books

Wow, it's been nearly a month since I've blogged about anything, since I've written anything. I have done some book things here and there on paper, failing to transcribe it digitally out of laziness and lack of spirit, but other than that...it's been a while.

I still am not in the mood to blog about anything, though, so I'm just going to list books I need to read so I don't forget. These are all more modern books rather than classics, for the classics I will always remember which I long to read.

1) I Drink for a Reason - David Cross
2) Juliet, Naked - Nick Hornby
3) There Was Once a Woman Who Tried To Kill Her Neighbor's Baby - Ludmilla Petrushevskaya
4) Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson
5) Olive Kitteridge - Elizabeth Strout
6) Let The Great World Spin - Colum McCann

Currently reading Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, and goodness it's a fatty book. How little time there is to read everything! Not to mention how little money I have to buy them all!
