QotD: I'm reading (or about to read)...
What books are on your nightstand?
I don't have a nightstand. There's no room for one in our current bedroom (Jeani has one.) Welp!
As for reading? Books? sigh...
When the year turned I decided to try something ambitious: I'd read a book a month for the entire year. And I started with Assassination Vacation.
I figured, "Well, I like Sarah Vowell when she's on NPR. How bad can it be?" So I went to the library - I had to do this "I'm a reader too!" thing right - and started reading it there. And I liked it.
Somewhere between chapters 2 and 3, though, I lost interest. The book sat on my desk and went unread. It just kept going unread until it was time to return it.
With that, my Great Reading Experiment of 2006 was canned. Sad, yes. But there is a glimmer of hope: when we move in October, I'll be back to taking the train to and from work. And sooner or later I'll run out of stuff to watch on the iPod, so books will most likely be in order.
