50 Books: 18-30.

I did some quality dog-sitting this weekend, meaning I sat around in the owner's air-conditioning and read her books for about 48 hours. That's hardly worth the $75 she paid me, or so I was thinking until the dog bit my finger. Suddenly I felt pretty good about taking the money, though it remains exorbitant.

I have mostly been reading the in the virtual form. I enjoy my tvwithoutpity.com and my ajc.com. I, of course, read the Harry Potter in a matter of a day.

I too get great satisfaction from TWOP. My favorite recapper is back, covering "Mission: Man Band"; is it wrong that I love him most when he's writing about stuff he half-despises? I feel like I should pity him, but I enjoy the recaps too much.

Would you like me to lend you books? I'm not so poor as to not be able to send things media mail. I just request that you return them once you're done.

Done and done. Look for a package via USPS.

Yes, by all means. If you have a book that needs to be mocked online in six lines or less, fire it my way.

(You can also send books intended to improve the mind and elevate the spirit, but, as I told la_zumo, beware.)

I still haven't read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, despite having called Savannah my hometown for the past 11 years and having purchased a copy last year at a college booksale ... in Toronto.

What I remember about MitGoGaE:

1. A Nazi flag
2. A man named Jim
3. Voodoo!
4. Written by John Berendt

You see that the books fall out of my head just as quickly as I can stuff 'em in there.
