19 Jul 2009Upon my return from the wilderness near the St. Croix River, I had to work for a couple of hours. I talked The General to going with me witih plans to hit the thrift store afterwards. Sure enough, I had too much shit to clean up at work and didn’t get done until the thrift [...]
I missed reading books in the whole month of February, but made up for it in March by reading four books. I finished two of those over the span of an eight day cruise. Who knew reading on a lawn chair in the middle of the ocean could be so soothing? It’s a lot better [...]

2 Mar 2007When I was a kid, probably in 4th grade or so, I borrowed a book from my grandma. It was called The Stranger Beside Me, which wasn’t exactly on the 10-year-old reading list at the public library.

Per a recommendation by The Cuz, I ordered The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life from Amazon. I don’t even remember when it came in the mail, but I hadn’t opened it until recently. I started reading it less [...]
marley & me by john grogan
12 Sep 2006Another book I finished this summer? Marley & Me.
A first-time dog owner with a dog whose owner called him the World’s Worst Dog – does anyone see a resemblance here?
The cover of the book alone wouldn’t let me leave the book sitting there on the shelf of my local Barnes & Noble. For a fleeting [...]
find me by rosie o’donnell
11 Sep 2006Guess who’s been reading this summer? Yeah, me! Don’t worry, because I’m surprised, too! It must have started with the David Sedaris books my cousin suggested, and from there, it took off. I’ve read more books this summer than I have in the past three years.
Reading, since probably high school, has been really hard for [...]
