What are you reading?

Currently reading a photography book. Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson

 

Rat? She wanted, and therefore acquired, a creature that will do everything in it’s power to bite/scratch you if you pick it up?? I’ll never touch a rat again, if I can help it! Way too much of that in college.

 

Can you just imagine what the flood of books about this topic/all of the famous people involved will be titled?

 

Jitterbug Perfume. Now THAT is a trippy book! Just had to get past the first chapter or so? I don’t really like to read about the way bodily fluids taste...

 

Oh dear. He’s been hallucinating Elizabethian again...Nathan, whatever you do, if you see old Willy, don’t speak to him, or you’ll get stuck in the hallucination forever! It’s true. I heard it from my friend’s brother’s sister who knew somebody it happened to.

He seems rather wired, doesn’t he, Vixen? I’m guessing his choice of reading material will occupy his brain sufficiently and stop the Elizabethian hiccup. Read anything good lately, Vixen? AWESOME name by the way.

Just to avoid Nathan’s fate I’m reading Pilgrim’s Progress J/K


Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking~Susan Cain

I like this book so far. Introverts are undervalued. I’ve already learned I’d never make it in an Ivy League MBA program...I’d rather cut off my left pinky than do nothing but brainstorming and group think activities for years. Where’s the individuality and room for ideas that can only be reached after much private thought and contemplation?! When the book mentioned the Myers-Briggs, of course I got curious and had to take it. I got INFJ.

 

::cringing:: Do I want to know about the Kibler book, or are all of the Southerners the horrible stereotypes? ROFL

If you liked that one, I’d recommend the true story: Dear Senator: A Memoir by the Daughter of Strom Thurmond~Essie Mae Washington-Williams

I find Myers-Briggs interesting, but at the same time I take it with a grain of salt. You’re unusual, Vixen? Wouldn’t have thunk it!

I just finished Still Me Jojo Moyes
I liked the first two in the trilogy better; I feel like she was just in a hurry on this one.

 

Vixen, you’d love this flea market that’s close to where I live. There is a used book vendor there, but the individual does it more for fun. If you sit down with her and just chat, she makes you take books when you leave. You know, because all Southerners are crass and rude. That’s why it’s such a bad thing to go slowly and take your time doing business here. God forbid adhering to local cultural norms of etiquette and...getting free books!!! Didn’t talk to her for that reason, but it certainly was an added bonus!

 

Nah, that’s a great idea! Airport reading material is too expensive. Taking the books at the flea market~totally a Southern thing. It would have been very rude to refuse her offer, so the next time we go to the flea market we’ll return her hospitality by having another chat and actually buying books. LOL We give away and/or swap books with friends, otherwise we’d have no living space!
