What if reading was your full-time job?

I sat down this afternoon and read Jamaica Kincaid's Lucy cover-to-cover without getting up.  (More thoughts here.)  It was just what I needed to help me get over my post-big-book letdown (Finishing House of Leaves left me blue.)  Not making much progress with reading criticism and other secondary stuff, but at least I'm reading.

I also spent some time reading Twilight in Spanish this morning.  Cervantes was kicking my ass, so I thought maybe something a bit... lighter.  It was that or Eragorn.

Got the rain our garden needed today.  Though that didn't stop this guy from venturing out of the nest:
