*Well...*,
I have had a change of heart about keeping the de Botton's book, Religion for Atheists. I decided to create some highly developed field notes by citing several examples of passages for future reference material as a way to illustrate why it's a good thing to read particular books like this.
Instead, what I am going to do today is take a stack of books I am not keeping and go down to Powell's bookstore before work and wander the stacks in search of something to read. I may end up with a fictional account. It's been awhile since I've given fiction a chance to occupy my mind.
Which reminds me, Tawse? what have you been reading lately? You said once that you like all your 'trauma' to happen in the world of fiction. I've never forgotten what you said; you said that so perfectly.
