Logging

Reading:

My Heat Is An Idiot by Davy Rothbart

A collection of comedic essays, in the vein of David Sedaris.  Really loved the second essay about Valentine's day.  Guy is fun writer.  Stopped reading about 75% of the way, just got tired of the writing.  Sort of like how even if you like someone a lot, you can't hang out with them all the time.  Will probably go back at some point.

Journey to the End of the Night by Celine

French novelist writing about the experiences of a young Frenchman during WW1 and afterwards chasing love and trying to survive.  Reminds me of a French JD Salinger.  Read the first 100 pages or so, was liking it, but the novels spans a long time period and my attention was drawn away.  Maybe will go back to again.

All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

Never read the border trilogy, so might as well get it on.  Might read in conjunction with one of the following:  Jesus Son, The Savage Detectives, or The Breaks of the Game
