So, I was…

I bought some books because I was afraid to read the books I have on hand.

the new books:

Catch – 22

The Known World

Ahab Wife

Germs, Guns and Steel



Did I mention that I don’t think the public schools makes their students read enough. There are a bunch of classics I haven't read. The four I remember reading are: "The Jungle", "The Great Gatsby", "Animal Farm", "Hamlet". There could be one or two others but that's it. I've been trying to brush up; mainly just because I want to be a reader.

I've started reading Catch – 22 and I smile at every time Heller writes something in a way that's contrary to those books on writing that I have read.
