The Public Library

The other day I picked up a new library card, since I haven't had one in almost a decade!


That is all.

I've been away and I went way off course

So I actually went on to read The Saffron Kitchen instead. I loved it. Its not in my top ten but its worth picking up a copy, especially if you love Southwest Asia as much as I do (I've decided to stop calling it The Middle East- that's not really what it is...). It took me longer than expected to read it because I've been too busy. (As a result I know have a ridiculous infection.) Natali let me borrow her copy of The Kite Runner. When I'm done with it I promise to get back on track. I also picked up a couple more books today: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula LaGuin so that I can have a better knowledge base of Science-Fiction and The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis which is the first book of the Chronicles of Narnia series. I want to read them again but the only copy I have contains all of them bound together and its huge and not easy to carry around. I also helped Rachel pick out a couple books for her fishing trip this next week. She bought Memoirs of a Geisha and Salem's Lot. That's all for now. I'll try to keep you better updated.
