Books Are Fun

Although I was furiously tired, I couldn't sleep all night. I tossed and turned and went from being freezing to so hot I was sweating and kicking my covers off. I have no virus, so what gives?! I was on-time for work at 830am and tried to act as cheery as I have to for this type of job. Then after 7 hours, my boss let me know I had to stay 30 min. late. WHAT!?

Recent books finished:
The Heart is A Lonely Hunter (Carson McCullers)
Invisible Man (Ralph Ellison)--I loved it so much I bought X a copy. It's like Catcher in the Rye except the guy is black and an extreme intellectual. The beginning is the end (or the end is the beginning.) Brilliant.
The Member of the Wedding (Carson McCullers)--Seriously, this mirrored my own life so much it was scary. Also, McCullers impressed me even more than usual with lines about "the sky blue-green and filled with light, resembling a shallow wave," and "the skin under his eyes looked like the soft core of an eaten apple." Think about those for a sec. Can't you really see her subjects?
A Tree, A Rock, A Cloud (is that the title?)--Carson McCullers, short story. My life again! What is this woman, stalking me!?

To say McCullers is one of the most talented writers in the English language is a massive understatement. To anyone who hasn't read her yet, I strongly advise you do so. Now. I mean now-now. What are you waiting for? Go to Borders!
