Azar Nafisi: Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books
This is the one I last finished.... If you're interested in the Middle East/Islamic cultures, women's rights and/or the power of literature, you'd probably be a fan. I'm into all three of those, so, yeah, I liked it.
Jasper Fforde: The Eyre Affair: A Thursday Next Novel
My sister is a big fan, so I've decided to check it out. A little more fantastical than my usual fare, but...pretty interesting. I am supplementing it with another book about a childhood spent in Africa so as not to feel too shallow. Not that fun books are "shallow." I just gravitate toward realistic (and, for some reason, usually dark) stuff. So this is different for me. But different might be ok. We'll see....
« Constructing & the Swedes (with mowers, to boot) | Main | Life Around Portland »
Well, this is what I'm spending most of my time on, so...this is what you have to read about. : )
If I were living in Florida again, I may be talking about impending hurricanes or some such thing, but, as it is, I'm relatively safe for the moment here in the northwest. Except, perhaps, from brothers or nieces who may attempt to shove me out of the loft when I least expect it. Sure, they look innocent enough here, but...you've got to watch 'em. Especially the little ones. : )

Looks like fun. I really enjoy building stuff. It's great to look at the building and know you built it. Very cool.
