Wohoo!

I just released my first book into the wild! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I hope the person who finds it will go to the site and let me know they found it. I s'pose it's ok if they don't but it'll be so much more fun if they do!

If your wondering what I'm talking about go to www.bookcrossing.com and check out the FAQ. The basic idea is that you put a number on a book, leave it somewhere, and hope someone comes along and takes it. Then they have to oppourtunity to go to the site and make a journal entry on the book! After they read the book (or before I s'pose) they can release it back into the wild or pass it on to a friend.

I wonder if anyone has found my book . . . I hope it doesn't get thrown out . . .

Catch 22

The ending of Catch 22 was perfect. The whole book I was thinking "where is this heading!" The ending answered my wonderings and reduced my frustration with the world to a more tolerable level.

I will admit that I took my time reading this book. It didn't really suck me in (a quality I enjoy in books). I enjoyed it but I could easily put it down and not look at it for a week. Perhaps that was the necessary incubation time to process and understand the ideas it presented.

I did laugh though, out loud too.

Reading list

I've accumulated quite the long reading list through neglect of my favorite hobby. I blame WoW and Fable II.

But now I really need to get some reading done. For one I have to read Coraline and Watchman so I can see those respective movies. Before I read those I have to finish Catch 22. I guess I should find out when Coraline goes out of the theater here so I don't miss it.

Anyhow, here's my current reading list:

Catch 22 (less than 100 pages left)
Coraline
Watchmen
Kusheil's Mercy (half done)
Wicked
Son of a Witch
Fables (trades 1 - 4)
The Secret Atlas
Bleach (trades 24 & 25, I think)
And probably more coming soon . . .

I'll keep you posted!
