In an uncharacteristic middle class move, I bought the new Oprah magazine last night when I was buying cat food and coffee creamer (the staples of my life). The hook? a summer reading list http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahsbookclub/readinglists/pkgsummerreading/200907-omag-beach-reads. It's pretty good because it has some books I hadn't heard of or are just out...like Dreaming in Hindi by Katherine Russell Rich, which sounds promising. I am just a sucker for reading lists, especially summer ones. It's like a promise of a good time on a vacation -- hot weather and beaches. Time off. I don't really have any hope of vacation this summer -- lists are the closest I can get just now.
It didn't take me long this morning to pile onto the Powells Books website [AND they take Paypal in addition to evil credit cards] and order me up some good readin'. I even splurged and paid for second day air.
I feel a vacation weekend comin' on.
