30's a good number.
i have a 40 dollar target gift card i want to use up and some checks i need to cash. the last thing i read was five or six pages of a farewell to arms then i just lay there for a while. the past few weeks have been a ferocious hunt for personal, quiet time (i failed miserably because of my family) so i'm just giving up on reading for a while until i can buy some new books and everything quiets down. |
My reading list is thus:
1. Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes 2. Tales of Beetle The Bard (lame, but I'm a HP dork somewhat) 3. Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas (Good Omens by Terry Pritchard and some other guy if I can get a copy) 4. (5.) Lord of the Ring Trilogy, that should round out the next few months. |

The best reading for that kind of situation, I think, is something fast-paced. Like sci-fi or something. That's easier to get lost in when life is busy. |
The Hitchhiker's Guide series might be the best for that. I read all them during the most hectic/miserable time of my life thus far.
The question/answer was a lot of gibberish. I'll have to read the whole book again in a year or so and keep a log of things I don't understand and look them up. |
My list, in no particular order:
1. Beloved (Toni Morrison) 2. Absalom, Absalom (Faulkner) 3. Pattern Recognition (William Gibson) 4. 7 Plays (Sam Shepard--really looking forward to that. I read one that I had to act in.) 5. Finish fucking Ulysses sometime before I die |
pattern recognition is so good. it's very grey. even though a lot goes on, i found the book to be so calming.
i want to read a confederacy of dunces, the 800 pages of infinite jest i have left, and.. oh lordy. too many books. hemingway lulls me. i wish i could find my hitchikers books. they must have gotten lost during the move. |
I really want to read the rest of Joyce's stuff, but Ulysses just about killed me and the thought of anymore Joyce turns my brain into a grayish goo.
I have a small box of packing peanuts! lulz to be had sometime in the future. |
dubliners- specifically the two gallants story- is enjoyable. light for the most part.
i want some bubble wrap. |
Every time I go the bookstore I pick up Dubliners and put it back. I must have done it a dozen times.
I remember why I was pissed at the bookstore now....I was going to buy Franny and Zooey to read, but they didn't have any copies and they usually have like 6. |
I'm so glad to be back in my apartment. Took 3 overtime maintenance workers an hour and a half. And now, decisions decisions...

Crown with a fabric softener chaser.
|
Hahaha. Exactly what I was thinking.
|
I think you'll have to wrap the towel around your head Lawrence of Arabia style for the full effect.
|
I've actually never had Crown. The first of my Christmas money just went to it, and I had it out in the cold of my trunk while the door was getting fixed, cause I live on campus and they don't allow alcohol. It smells really good.
|
Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future.
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures. |
Dry campuses are the pits. I lugged my liter bottle of the good Captain across campus in a messenger bag at about 11pm a few nights before I left. The SGA just purposed legislation to make the campus at least partially "wet", which I'm totally for.
|
I'm not too worried about it. I'm 21 and they're mostly concerned about underage drinking, but I'm sure they'd tell my parents or suggest I see a councilor or some shit. But more importantly, they'd confiscate my whiskey.
|
That's fucking bullshit.
|
having a dry night tonight is a little refreshing.
|
The Crown is a little too smooth. I can tell I'm going to drink it too fast.
Dry nights are for parents and athletes. Boo. |
