Take a look, it's in a book
Aug. 13th, 2005 01:01 pmI'm an idiot. Last night, I forgot to remove the cardboard from the bottom of the frozen pizza I was heating up. I'm lucky there was no fire or anything. I think I made the mistake because Red Baron makes a few different kinds of pizzas, and the ones I usually get don't have the cardboard. The Pizzeria Style ones do, though.
You know, I really hate sweating. When will there be any relief from this heat wave?
Finally, I'm wondering what book I should read next. The thing is, there are a lot of books that I've put aside, and should probably get back to reading someday. I know I did that with Les Miserables, the third book in Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea Trilogy (I think it's called The Farthest Shore), and 1984. There are plenty of others in that category, too; those are just three that immediately come to mind. I'm not sure any of those books are in places where I can easily access them, though, and I think I've totally lost my copy of 1984. I also have several books on mythology and games that I've been carrying around with me, but haven't gotten around to actually reading. The weird thing is, I can read a lot of books really quickly, and often re-read them constantly. There are other books, though, where even if I like them, I just put them aside and forget about them.
I've been meaning to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ever since seeing the recent movie, but I haven't been able to locate a copy at the library.
bethje also has a few books I've been meaning to read, including Abarat and Teleliteracy: Taking Television Seriously. I've also been wanting to check out Robert Rankin, whom I've seen mentioned as an author that fans of Terry Pratchett might like. And speaking of Pratchett, I kind of have the desire to re-read the entire Discworld series, even though I've already read many of the books multiple times. I wanted to check out The Colo(u)r of Magic yesterday, but the library's copy was already out, so I took out Night Watch instead.
Anyway, does anybody have any recommendations for books I should read, or re-read, or get back to?
