What’s growing by your bed?
My Bedside stack of books grows and grows and grows. It’s now starting to look like this aging, slightly moldy pile in this picture. I want to read everything and occasionally I come to the realization that is impossible. Now that I can’t find a library book and I’ve reached desperation I’m starting to sort through what I’m going to read and what is probably going to keep going to the bottom of the stack.
The other bad quality I harbor is to have 3 or 4 books going at the same time. Right now it’s Watchmen (almost done). We’ve already talked about that. Simon R. Green’s Drinking Midnight Wine. (Metro book sale buy). If you like Jim Butcher you’ll like Simon Green. And I do. And just borrowed on Interlibrary Loan, Thumbprint, by Friedrich Glauser, any author who started his book while he was an inmate at a Swiss insane asylum and then gets a crime fiction award named after him, must be good.
For Lent, I’m trying not to be a book hog. Time to turn in those overdues, get realistic about reading goals. Even if there is a large stack hiding in the closet, ah out of sight …..
