I've been busy taking exams, graduating, and studying for the bar. I did read a few books in the week or so I had off, so I will put those up soon.

Lately, I've only been reading bar/bri books. Blech.

I swear all I'm doing with this blog is posting lists. Oh well. Here's books I might buy from Amazon once my loan check comes in:

Follies: New Stories - Ann Beattie
She is apparently a fantastic short story writer.

Everything I Know About Monsters - Tom Lichtenheld
Yes, it is a children's book. Its for my ... nieces...

Forty Stories - Anton Chekhov
Gettin' me some culture.

Saturday - Ian McEwan

Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro
Yeah, I don't know. It had a pretty cover.

The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, & Broke - Suze Orman
... maybe I wouldn't need this if I didn't spend so much money on Amazon.

The Sacred Heart: An Atlas of the Body Seen Through Invasive Surgery - Max Aguilera-Hellweg
REALLY REALLY want this, but it is right now selling for $150.00, which is way too much.

The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death - Corinne May Botz
Just looks cool. This lady made all these tiny dollhouse with scenes of murders (actually, unexplained deaths, maybe murders). They were used to train detectives in how to look for clues. Neat.

Yes, this is what I do when I am confronted with finals. Buy books that I have no time to read.

Here is what I got today:

How to Read a Book - Mortimer J. Adler & Charles van Doren
Am I a sucker? And yes, that is Charles van Doren of Twenty-One fame (played ever so lusciously by Ralph Fiennes on the big screen in Quiz Show).

Atonement - Ian McEwan
I've heard McEwan is great and this was on sale.

Just like a really bad cold. First a friend gives it to me, then I give it back.

Accidental Judgments - Heather's book and movie journal

These are books I'm trying to get around to reading. These are almost all books people have given, lent, or recommended to me.

Seasons of Her Life - Ann Blackman

Johnny Got His Gun - Dalton Trumbo

The Red Tent - Anita Diamant

The Deep End of The Ocean - Jacquelyn Mitchard

The Hero & the Crown - Robin McKinley
