so i keep getting sent these what books do you read things. here goes…
1. total number of books in your house…too numerous to count they are everywhere.
2. the last book you bought was? hollywood knits by suss cousins and the lighthousekeeper by jeanette winterson
3. what was the last book you read before reading this?
well, i have been reading knitting in plain english in the tub or on the toilet, and pattern recognition by wm gibson.
4. what are the 5 books you often read that mean a lot to you? i am not a big repeat book reader. but…
1.oscar and lucinda by peter carey. magnificent. proof that letting public opinion move you from the path of what and who you love, will destroy you.
2.diary, chuck palahniuk. better every time you read it. so amazing
3.anna karennina, tolstoy, again, how listening to other people will ruin your life
4.wuthering heights, emily bronte. i should be embarrassed, but i am not. again, if you love someone enough, even death won’t tear you apart. and kate bush wrote a song about it.
5. lolita, nabakov. what more is there to say? nothing.
/>6. one hundred years of solitude, marquez, because things that seem to be a huge deal are forgotten not long after, and the women are strong and stick with whatever they are doing no matter what, and it works itself out, and they chain men to trees…4. who will i send this to? fran, because she is a book person. alex, because i wonder what he will say. diana and john, especially because diana is from the philipines…and john is crazy and reads books about salt. bonnie, cause i want to get to know her better. we are sisters after all, and jason, because he reads anything that he can. crappy or no. or about salt. now how do i copy this into an email? hmmm. ok, just post your response as a comment onto my blog. ok? sweet.

You’re One Hundred Years of Solitude!
