Current Ramblings
Thursday, November 13, 2003
If anybody has too much money to spend this Christmas and wants to get me a nice Christmas present, one of these Mulberry leather GBASP cases from Europe would do very nicely.
I do realize that my last post (that wasn't a web quiz) was highly ironic. But I have been trying to spend more time offline. I'm currently up to three books I'm in the middle of reading: A book about weblogs, the new Al Franken book, and a British cyberpunk novel. I don't usually read this much non-fiction, actually, but accumulating books is just what happens when you work at a bookstore - especially one where everything's dirt cheap. And I find myself facinated by the idea of books about internet culture. Maybe I'm just not accustomed to the existance of books about a culture I myself am so totally immersed in. I suppose that's just another part of that growing-up business, that people my own age and with my own interests and habits actually write books and get them published. And I couldn't pass up Franken's new one, since the conservative media it debates is part of my work life - that and, much like him, I wonder what is wrong with Ann Coulter. And it was $10. And I was needing some new sci-fi. I will finish one of these before next week, I swear it. And if I finish Franken's book fast enough, I can sell it back to my store for $5.
I think, at the end of the week, I will introduce a new feature to my blog: Used Book Shop Find of the Week. I already have some good candidates lined up.
