I forgot to add something small to my last post this morning! Yesterday I went to Barnes and Nobles! I bought four new books, three for me and one as a gift to my dad. For me, I got V., by Thomas Pynchon. For some reason this book has always intrigued me, even though I've never tried reading it, so I figured now would be a good time! I also bought the first two books of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. When I heard of them while reading The Good Omens I was at first a little skeptical, the series didn't seem like it would interest me too much. Seeing them yesterday, though, got my attention piqued...I really liked the first page of book #1, The Color of Magic. They seem like fun, easy reads, definitely what my brain will want after reading so much Pynchon. And, they remind me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which I LOVED! For my dad, I bought The Emperor of Maladies, a biography of cancer that I think he will really enjoy! I hope to read at least some of it, too. Here are my new books, waiting to be read...
I live to read and haven't been without a book since middle school. I am an English Major and hope one day to be an editor, a critic, a publisher, or even own a book store. As long as I am surrounded by books, I'm happy. I decided to make this blog as a way for me to share all the wonderful books I read with anybody who cares to join me :)
