At long last I’m posting my answers to Eva’s Reading Meme, for which I was tagged by Chris.
Which book do you irrationally cringe away from reading, despite seeing only positive reviews?
It’s not so much a book as an author. I have zero interest in Kurt Vonnegut for some reason. I read a couple […]

The other day I got a belated Christmas gift from my friend, Chris, and it was more than I could have dreamed. It was an envelope with eight crappy books from the 60’s through the 80’s that he called Bunduki Wannabes. They’re the kind of horrible sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure stories that give […]

I’m not usually one to do the serious New Year’s resolution thing. I have a list of flip resolutions that I don’t mean posted on my other blog, but that’s as far as it goes. I do, however, have one resolution I’m intending to keep that has to do with reading. It […]

Don’t ask me how it’s possible, but I managed to go the entire extended Thanksgiving weekend without finishing a single book. I was even halfway through one, and finishing it would have been all too simple, but no.
On the bus on the way there, I tried reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH but […]

Ok, new goal: Actually pick up a decent book and read it.
It’s not that I haven’t been reading lately. I’ve read two novels in the past couple weeks, but they were both really crappy, and not in a way that’s worth writing up. I even saw a book-based movie that I don’t have any particular […]

Ok, I’m back. I was out of town and then back and then out and then back and then lazy. The best part about traveling for me is that it’s very book-centric. All that airport downtime, the plane downtime, the sitting at home downtime. This couple of trips was even better […]

I bought these books yesterday. See? Here they are. I had woken up at 6:00 a.m. and had nothing to do, and on days like that, I usually end up at a book store. From top to bottom:
The Light Fantastic and Equal Rites / Terry Pratchett — I just finished the […]
