books

I need to stop consuming entire books in a day, even if it does put me at fifty rather early in the year. I will run out of my carefully hoarded stack. Perhaps I should read some non-fiction, since it's been mostly fiction all year long. (I have Havel's book sitting on a shelf, waiting patiently for me to take it to the Castle and back.) Yesterday I devoured The Seal Wife and today it was Worst Fears. Oddly, both books I bought for a dollar at Half Price and both are first editions.

Perhaps I should read The Red Tree again, since the weather might be imperceptibly shading towards autumn here. I could live with a month or so of gray, honestly. I cook more. Like the chocolate almond chip cookies. More quiche for dinner to use up the duck eggs.
