More books?!
Just when I thought I was about to catch up (meaning: having read every book I own; a state that I never seem to achieve). I have the book I started last night (The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge), and then two others waiting on The List: Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense by Suzette Haden Elgin and then Mavericks, Miracles, and Medicine.
But then, I was straightening up my kitchen counter while waiting on coffee and bagel and discovered another book: Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, by David Sedaris. I was at the bookstore withweylyn42 a week or so ago, and saw it on the bargain table for $5. I haven't read anything by him before, nor heard any of his bits on NPR, but I know that at least a few of you have talked about and mentioned him (and went to see him when he came through), so I couldn't not get it.
I still want to finish Genetics For Dummies, as well. It was required for my physical anthropology class--but only chapters 1-8 or some such. So I at least want to finish the rest of the book.
Damn. I was so close to reading "everything".
