OMG! Chris got you to read Gödel, Escher, Bach? He hasn't pushed that book for YEARS!

Nope, it wasn't Chris.

WOW! There's some other odd soul in the world? Imagine that!

And I'm friends with them. What are the odds?

Finished Memento Mori by Muriel Spark, Hunger by Knut Hamsun, and now I'm reading Over the Hills to Fabylon by Nicholas Stuart Gray.

Also, I have 60 books on my shelves to tackle before making another purchase, but Murakami will eventually be #61. Hurrah!

I haven't been reading much lately. You all make me feel inadequate.

I also started reading The Kite Runner for a book club thingie back in March. I got to a point where, had it ended, it might have been an interesting novella. I haven't picked it back up, but then again, it's under a stack of papers in my office, where I haven't been for over a month.

I started reading The Dante Club when I was waiting for my car a couple weeks ago. That one seems interesting. But I haven't picked it up since. Except to bring it back into the house.

I both began and finished Dogs of the Iditarod. But it was mostly super-cute doggie pictures.

I've been slowly rereading some of the Harry Potter books, since there's a new one coming soon.

I went to two different bookstores today looking for a particular edition of Oroonoko, which I need to reread for a class I'm teaching. I'll have to amazon the edition I want.

I just read Day One of Prudence's WDW trip report. Now that was swanky.

I'm currently on a Terry Pratchett binge. I heard about him from A.S. Byatt of all people during a UCLA spoken word event. I've read The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents (I love just saying the title) and The Wee Free Men and now I'm in the middle of Soul Music.

I'm really annoyed no one ever told me about him before.

Terry Pratchett keeps showing up on my list - perhaps someday to be purchased - or even better, read.
