The Nerdy, Wordy, Reading Life
Ride a-Cock-Horse and other Rhymes and Stories Randolph Caldecott Page: 249 The Divine Comedy Page: 161 Ok, so there is a little 12 year old boy somewhere in my head that goes “haha…you said ‘cock’” when I talk about this book and I can’t shut him up. But, it’s seriously a great little book for [...]
Animal Farm by George Orwell Page: 113 The Divine Comedy by Dante Page: 131 Last nights post was pretty short by my standards but there are just some days when I have nothing left to give. Sometimes the responsibility of caring for the boys is enough to wear me out but then sometimes other crap [...]
Playback by Raymond Chandler Page: 971 Finished The Divine Comedy by Dante Page: 81 I didn’t get my alloted pages done today since I stayed up until 1:30 waxing our new hardwood floor last night/this morning and then moved all the furniture back upstairs this afternoon. Jared stayed home from work again this morning making [...]
The Long Goodbye & Playback Chandler Page: 881 I’m tired…absolutely bone-weary because as previously mentioned, Jared and I decided that our lives were not busy and insane enough and started remodeling our loft. One half of this room has functioned as our TV room and the other has been Amanda’s bedroom and then Gabe’s bedroom [...]
The Little Sister & The Long Goodbye Raymond Chandler Page: 667 I opened Veritas today for the first time in a long time. I left Jared sleeping until the boys woke him up and demanded food and clean diapers. He handled them just fine even though it’s the first morning he’s taken care of both [...]
The Little Sister by Raymond Chandler Page: 373 So this book has continuous pagination even though it’s four separate books bound as one while Jane Eyre and Democracy in America, though single books, retained their original multi-volume pagination. I’m confuzzed. Anyway, it’s still fun to read Chandler and I think I’m going to develop a [...]
Ok…I was just going through all the photos on my camera card and have to show off my super-cute kids. Ok…that’s probably enough for now…
The Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler Page: 222 Valentine’s Day and my husband and I can’t get away for a dinner, romantic or otherwise. Quinn offered to watch the store for us (remarkable considering that single people are generally anti V Day) but with no one to watch the boys for us we [...]
Democracy in America Page: 371 As I plow through De Tocqueville’s great work, I keep seeing ideas and themes that, if teased out, would throw a great deal of light on our current government and our current war. Unfortunately, I care very little for that sort of study and I have no time for it [...]
The Princess and the Goblin Page: 238 Democracy in America Page: 151 I read some but not enough today. The bookstore has been a bit neglected of late and I had to do some catchup work. I had emails to answer, books to package, shelves to straighten, phone calls to make and a bunch of [...]
