My sister complained that her son accomplished nothing over the Spring break from college. I saw a great quote last night at Fibre Arts Cafe at the Village on High, in Millville, NJ. "My goal for today was to accomplish nothing. So far I am ahead of schedule."
Maybe I am missing something, but...here is what I am NOT into:
- Facebook (barely)
- Twitter
- Tumblr
- Pinterest
- Memes
- Avatars
- Video games
How do I have the time when I am reading so much? I don't even have time to watch TV or DVDs. Here is what I am reading:
- Current newspaper
- Old newspapers
- Current magazine
- Old magazine
- The man in my basement, by Walter Mosely
- Eccentric glamour, by Simon Doonan
- My beloved world, by Sonia Sotomayor
- Insane city, by Dave Barry
- The uncommon appeal of clouds, by Alexander McCall Smith
- Beautiful ruins, by Jess Walter
- The importance of being seven, by Alexander McCall Smith
- The blindside, by Michael Lewis
- Luka and the fire of life, by Salman Rushdie
Have you read Rushdie's new title, Joseph Anton: A Memoir? I haven't read all of Rushdie's books, and surprisingly of the titles I've read, Satanic Verses is my favorite, despite Midnight's Children's popularity.I can remember when Satanic Verses was first published in the states,I was managing a retail bookstore and was concerned about even having it on the shelf. I'm chagrined to admit that I didn't get around to actually reading it for another 24 years. If you're a Rushdie fan, you'll enjoy Joseph Anton.
