i just ordered a couple of books on line, but only BEFORE i found that i could use my airmiles to get free books. goddammit.
the books i ordered were "the boy in the moon" which is about a father's life with a severely disabled son. i heard reviews of it on cbc and was immediately interested.
the second book i ordered was the book from the movie "julie and julia". i cant remember the name (gee, what good am i?), but it was about the person who decided to cook all 524 recipes from julia child's first cookbook and blog about it. she subsequently got a book and movie deal out of it. she has since written a second book called "cleaving" about her love affair with butchery and her love affair out of her marriage. i wanted to order that, but figured "woah nellie".
ultimately i want to find some beach reads for maui. i was looking in a book store and going through the nelson demille section and found some books i'd really like. i stumbled across him when i was working for newswest and selling books and picked up his book called "plum island" featuring a smartass retired detective as the main character. demille has written several books featuring this character and i'd like to purchase them at a used bookstore and bring them to hawaii.
i'm still trying to read the classics, but they are not beach reads by any stretch of the imagination. i started reading "a tale of two cities" and have been struggling with it. like, OH MY GOD, i read that shit in university? why?!?! it's a struggle to pay attention. then i sit back and wonder why the fuck i agreed to punish myself by reading that shit. sorta along the same lines as "why the fuck am i up at 5:30 3 days a week to go to a 6am class i HATE?"
yeah. kinda like that.
