It's Mostly a Nonfiction Week!

Three hundred pages into this 700-page memoir, Hollywood Animal, and it's still going strong. If I'm not too lazy, I'll post a capsule review. Sure is one ugly jacket cover, though.


I've read two of Harpur's books over the last two decades. Water Into Wine is his most recent. Another "god"-awful dust jacket design.


I already have the softcover edition of To See Every Bird on Earth, but at $6, couldn't resist picking up the hardcover as well.


my new filing technique is unstoppable consists of sets of one-page clipart-based comic strips. Oddly, each strip does not end with a punch line. The title caught my eye, a quick skim, and I had to buy. $2 at Chapters.


Let me mention that I'm sweating profusely while typing these words out. I almost slipped off the seat, I'm so bloody warm....

My next read will mostly likely be Lolita.

P.S. This Simon Rich guy is pretty funny. How come it's dated July 23, 2007. Methinks I smell a phony!
