Yeah, the books in those two stacks are what I'm hoping to read in the blearily foreseeable future. The ones on shelves, in boxes, and in other piles fall into the "hope to read before I die" category. Sigh. I actually snapped and started reading one of my books rather than a check-out this morning. It turns out that there is only so long I can resist books that I know will be really incredible vs. ones that will probably be good and might be very good.

The cats would be very happy if I stayed home and read full time. Unfortunately, they aren't able to keep me in the manor to which I would like to become accustomed, so I have to work elsewhere.
