the reader
while i was there, i took out a paul mccartney cd and a book. i'm not a paul fan, truthfully. i dont mind some of his stuff, but i'm not a die hard, so one or two songs are ok and then i'm moving on. i got the cd for ch in hopes he'd just burn it to his laptop and then add the songs to his ipod. our musical tastes do not merge, ever, so needless to say, he's a big fan.
the book i got out was called "all in one place". big mistake. i had picked it up hoping to have a quick diversion from nelson demille's "the lion's game". i started the book the other day after having found a pristine unopened paperback copy of it at value village for $3.99. i picked up the book because i enjoy reading his main character smartass john corey and have been managing to get through most of it, but needed a small break. i'll get back on it and finish it this weekend, most likely.
anyway, i had picked up the other book and didnt realise it was an inspirational book. dun dun dunnnnn. hate those. too judgy and goddy and just intolerable with the preaching and comments and suggestions. had i known it was one of "those" books i wouldnt have taken it out.
i read it entirely tonight, despite being offended by bible verses and prostheletizing. yes, it was a diverseion...now, please, can i get back to swearing and sex in "the lion's game"?
i went to the library the other day and finally got a card. i love it there and want to do more things at it...i'm thinking i wouldnt mind volunteering in some capacity a couple hours a week...even if it is something like shelving books or mindless tasks. just something to get me out of the house and make me feel as if i'm contributing somehow.
