a ten-minute dream in the passenger seat

i can tell this is going to take some getting used to.

in other news, tolkien's biography (the humphrey carpenter one) is really intriguing. i guess i've always sorta had a thing for reading about other peoples' lives. i don't really know why, though.

at work today i think it was secretly declared verbally-shit-on-amy day by patrons of adler pool, because many of them were bitchy and giving me crap about policies and procedures and whatnot.

...anyway. more reading, tra la la. i hope to finish at least ten books this summer.

books i've read thus far:
- robinson crusoe
- zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
- harry potter 6

books i'd like to read:
- (finish) tolkien's bio
- siddhartha
- frankenstein
- ender's game
- zorro
- cien anos de soledad (if i can find my copy, that is)
- (finish) good omens
- (finish) chocolat
- dr jekyll and mr hyde
- (finish) unfinished tales
- life of pi
- animal farm
- a prayer for owen meany
- the tao of pooh & te of piglet
- the ascent of man
- you shall know our velocity
- in the time of the butterflies (en espanol? quien sabe?)

etc. maybe i will actually finish the list.
