Book exchange!

1. Stopping in Cincinnati unexpectedly really threw me off and my feet itch sooooo badly. My parents keep begging me to stay but I can't. No longer! Tomorrow morning bright and early I'm heading for the on-ramp (much to my parents' dismay) and we'll see how far south I can make it by night fall

I just finished Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk and this morning picked up Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. Almost done and it's pretty good.

When I travelled to Liverpool a week or so ago, a girl recommended a few random books to me including Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right by Al Franken, The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and House of Bush House of Saud by Craig Unger.

We also got into long discussions about Tom Robbins and Kurt Vonnegut.

I remember really enjoying the mists of avalon, though I read it years ago. I think I got bored about page 950 though and stopped. Still, I got the general picture. And enjoyed the first 9/10 of the book.
And Even Cowgirls Get the Blues was lots of fun, even though a little archaic in its gender roles.
I end up reading Vonnegut more than I would like, simply because everyone has a Kurt Vonnegut book they want to pass on to a traveler whose in need of something to read. I'm not really that into it, though.

I liked Mother Night more than Slaughter-house.

Curious, did you ever get my postcard? (to your Asheville address)

I just rolled into Asheville yesterday afternoon and I swung by my old house and tiptoed into my old room to look for any mail that may have come, only my old roommate was snoozing, so I then tiptoed back out before thoroughly searching. But I'll try again later this week and then I'll let you know!

oh my gosh, even cowgirls get the blues has got to be one of the most rediculous books i've ever read, found it in my parents attic and read it ages ago, perhaps it would make more sense now.
