Reading & Writing

Posted in reading, writings by brian

I’ve been doing a lot of both lately. I’m currently working on a number of stories. I hope they work towards something great. Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated. Ask me for more details. I’ve also located my journal from my trip to France in 1996. I’m almost finished typing up the original and will add to the France page as I get to the notes.

Books I’ve got lined up to read soon:

Judging Books By the Covers

Posted in reading by brian

Of course I do! Here are some recent covers I’ve fallen in love with:

I’ve got a lot of reading going right now. I plan on reading The Evolution of Calpernia Tate, but I doubt I get any of the others from my above list. I’m currently working on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, The Giraffe, Glinda of Oz, & The Thrive Diet.

I love my job sometimes. This isn’t one of those times.
