Mother of God, Empress of the Universe Started conversation Jun 20, 2002
I read a lot. Too much, probably. Certainly enough that I wouldn't remember it all even a month later. It's kind of an addiction, my preference to watching mind-numbing tv. And shopping. Riding around in cars on errands. Talking on the phone. Normal-people things which occupy their time. So I've decided that, since I have no idea how much I really DO read, that I'll list the books here as I finish them. An experiment, of sorts.
I've been meaning to do this for the past several months but never got a roundtuit. Having just now finished re-re-re-reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (and planning a week of bingeing on DNA) seems as if there's no time like the present. The menu starts here.
Finished this week:
Fast Food Nation
The Master and Margarita
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
THGTTG

I'm impressed!
I didn't read anything at all last week, other than newspapers, when my young man was asleep.

It is better I keep silence about the number of books I read (MoGgie can read in one year what I read in 10-15 years and, considering she's immortal, I think the gap cannot be filled).
