I read a lot of other Blogs, journals and diaries. I make stuff. Sometimes I write stuff too. I kept a geocities diary for 3 years once. I'm hoping that will mean I'll keep posting here for more than a month or two.

Book Binge


The "Book Binge" commenced April 1, 2007.  Lucky I've paid my library fines (thanks alot scott), and I've been borrowing up a storm.  Due to recent budgetary constraints I've been limited to re-reading my own stocks or borrowing from the library.  No budget allocation for new book purchases.

Stats so far:

April 1, 2007:  "Close Range - Wyoming Stories" by Annie Proulx.  (library)

This one is short stories, and I almost finished it last night - except Scott kept rolling over in bed and groaning "turn off the light".


April 2, 2007: "Bad Dirt - Wyoming Stories 2" by Annie Proulx (library)

Finished Close Range this morning, and began Bad Dirt straight after.

Every now and then I go on an Annie Proulx binge.  Or I read "That Old Ace in the Hole" over and over obsessively for a few weeks.

I'm lucky I'm not compiling this list during one of my "Tales of the City" marathons.  Every few months or so I trot them out and get my Armistead Maupin fix.  Sometimes I can read two a night - I've read them so many times it's like comfort reading.  Better that than a box of chocolates right?

If I bought every book I read, I'd be bankrupt in three months... I loooove my local library!
