What have I been up to? the literary edition.

Well, basically a lot of reading. Currently I am in two book clubs. (I know great idea, for all of the free time I have) This month they are meeting just a couple weeks apart and one was 514 pages so I have been busy.

What have I been reading:

Special Topics in Calamity Physics- Marisha Pessl
I know the title sounds like nerd fest 2007, but it really isn't as scientific as the title makes it sounds. It is a coming of age literary mystery. Think Nancy Drew with a lot less camp and a lot more time alone reading every book on the planet.

Timbuktu- Paul Auster
The story of the plight of the American homeless through the eyes of a dog. Sometimes goes on a few tangents, but the dog's owner is Schizophrenic after all.

Between book clubs I started Kitchen Confidential-by Anthony Bourdain and am eager to finish it.

So that is what I have been up to.

On another note, the Simpsons turns 400 tonight. Can you believe it has been on the air 18 years.
