Cloud clearly has some issues. And I don't mean magazines.

clutter issues? camera issues? dates issues?

actually, I took that photo because I'm doing a series of reviews on body art books, so those are all of my body art books. I was working for several years on a book to be published (which I hope will still be published by my co-author) and collected quite a few references.

One of the English professors set up a table with free books she was trying to get rid of. I love me a free book, even textbooks, so I grabbed quite a few.

My treasure so far is Nothing But the Truth, An Anthology of Native American Literature. The first story I read (as I was manning a stupid table for a stupid event and was bored because I couldn't do my work out there) was The Approximate Size of My Favorite Tumor by Sherman Alexie. It was a beautiful short story, funny and touching.

Sherman Alexie is great. I think I abandoned one of his short story collections in when I moved. He's best known for "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven" and he wrote the screenplay for the move Smoke Signals.

"Boots and Saddles" by Elizabeth Custer. Basically takes everything you think you ever knew about General George Custer and gives you food for thought.

Thank you for that, wolf. I had no idea, but now have something else for my "to read" list (and an idea for my mom's Christmas present.)

Amazing how things find us.

Left Behind - Tim LeHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

(Yes, Really. The scary part is that I'm up to chapter two and it's actually fairly entertaining.)

I don't want you all to freak out or anything...but I just finished reading a book. A real book...a novel, actually: "Then We Came to the End" by Joshua Ferris.

I realized I had lost my copy of Dune, so I got a nice used hardback to replace it.

Also, I've never gotten around to reading the unexpurgated version of Stranger in a Strange Land, so I got that one, too.

reading the classics, man!

Notes On Embalming - For Students (1936)

From "The McAllister School Of Embalming, Inc."

I also read the classics.
But this one guarantees I'll be left alone while eating.
