God, I'm totally wiped out today. First, it's overcast and drizzling and cool, a perfect day to stay in bed with a book or some yarn project and just lounge around and nap on and off. Second, it doesn't help that I got totally sucked into The Time Traveler's Wife and read the whole thing yesterday, ending up with me in tears as I finally turned the last page at 3 AM. Yes, it made me cry towards the end, I admit it; I make no effort to deny that I'm a sappy romantic, even at times when it doesn't serve me particularly well. It's been a while since I've been so utterly engrossed in a story. I'm rather disturbed that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston bought the film rights to it though; I at least have some hope that they won't cast themselves as Henry and Clare, what with the divorce and all.

Okay, off to forage for caffeine and then go back to slogging through all the email that actually requires some action on my part.

Well, there are times that my tendency to romanticize things could really use tempering by a good thwack with the reality bat, it would cause a lot less heartache. But usually I'm perfectly happy to admit that I'm a big ol' sappy romantic. =)

Nah, what could use a good tempering is your posting of all these books that I now want to read!! ;-)

At some point I think I'm going to pass the intersection point on the curve of $BooksLeftToRead vs. $TimeLeftToReadThem.

You obviously then need to add the the stack Nick Hornby's The Polysyllabic Spree. ;)

AAAAAAAAHHH!

It's reasonably short, I finished it off in an afternoon. The real danger is that you then find all these other titles that make you go "Oooooh!". ;)

Yeah, that book itself isn't what caused me to scream just then, but the realization of how many other books I would want need to read afterward.

You're evil. ;-)
