#123 - They'll Be Watching Over All Of Us

the international professionals

I finished As Simple As Snow by Gregory Galloway last night an am now being driven crazy because the ending was completely unsatisfying. I am not sure if the answers are in there and I just have to think harder in order to find them, or if it was all meant to be open for interpretation. If it is the former than I am mildly irritated. If it is the latter then that is infuriating. The whole thing is kind of infuriating anyway, actually, because I kind of feel like I could have just re-read a John Green book and it would have been just as though provoking, more fun, and not nearly as frustrating. But maybe I just haven't put enough effort into As SImple As Snow. I don't know.

Speaking of reading, every summer I work at the bookstore and end up bringing home way more books than I actually end up reading. So, this summer I am going to try to read books that I already own but haven't read yet.

(An Incomplete List Of) Books I Own But Haven't Read Yet
  • The Alchemist
  • Autograph Man
  • Clara Callan
  • Cryptonomicon
  • A Farewell to Arms
  • Girl with a Pearl Earring
  • The God of Small Things
  • A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories
  • Jane Eyre

  • Running with Scissors

This post has been EDITED so that I might share with you some exciting news: PTwitty just used the correct form of the word "their" for the first time ever while asking "Who wants their PTwitty TV?". Probably because he is LOCKED IN.

I highly suggest reading Running With Scissors as soon as possible. It is an awesome book.

I read part of Sloppy Firsts while drunk last night. It was very promising.
