Day: December 29, 2003

So, I am about done with my reading list for the last quarter 2003 (which may run a wee spot into 2004, which is fine). However, I need to compile some further reading for the upcoming year. My personal list is already ~ 20 strong, but I average ~ 100 books a year, so I figure, why not lean a little on you folks?

Please reply to this post with one Fiction (F) and one nonfiction (NF) book you think I would enjoy – author names are apprecaited, amazon links are even better.

If I have read already, I will respond and let you know, otherwise, by EOW, I will repost the list in place of the call-for-books.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I will start with two from my list:

(F) Wolves of the Calla, Stephen King
(NF) Narrative Threads : Accounting and Recounting in Andean Khipu

One word and a number – doom 3

in other news, i had a productive and soemwhat eventful weekend. I missed a major rondevous for which I will have to make amends, but such is life in the big city (as they say). most of my angst has washed away, and has been replaced with the smooth custard of lethargy which i feel as if i am immersed in every day when i walk into my office.

I did not get a chance to meet up with or this weekend – i hope to do so before wombat flies back to the southern reaches.

is home as of today – i am sure she will enjoy her week off.

i need some sleep – i dreamt a 5 hour play in iambic pentamater last night – it was intellectually stunning (i never realized i had that capacity for linguistic patterning), but the plot was super distrubing, as was the cast. i could not escape either the meter no matter what I did – it was like my heartbeat in my ears everytime i went back to sleep. I would wake up for 20 minutes, then end up falling back asleep, only to pick up where the dream left off. that rarely happens to me.

i woke up tired – feels like i read all night (which i probably should have jsut done after i woke up the first time, instead of fighting it).

yeah, deadline looming – lots of people are writing about resolutions, so i will hop on the bandwagon:

i need to write more and play fewer games
i need to loose some weight
i need to save some mad loot
