Books
Okay, so normally I view this durn thing as a form of venting. I don't really write it for anyone else, I don't. I look at it as a way to get things down in a form which has some semblance of permanence to it. But there are times when I wish people read what I was writing. Like right now, because I have a pressing problem which requires advice.
I have run out of books.
Now, anyone who has seen my bookshelves would immediately call bullshit, but its true. I have read nearly all my books. The ones I haven't are a little dense for my summer purposes (like the nearly 1000 page biography of Anne Boleyn). What I want is something fun and lighthearted, with a good story. I want it to be well written, but nothing worthy of deep personal reflection or anything. Just something to take to the pool and to work. I need to go get a library card, but the Buncombe county library has some asinine rules about proving residency to get one, which I don't think I have. My drivers license has yet to be changed to an Asheville address (didn't see the point), and I am stalling until we find a house. It's not that I mind spending money on books, they're just expensive! $25.00 for a paperback which I might or might not like seems a little extravagant to me, especially now that I am in the ranks of a poor college grad with an uncertain job future.
But long story short, I need book titles.
