i can’t add two books that i’m reading in one post…or at least i can’t figure out how (not that i tried very hard). so i posted two times today, a sin i promised myself i would never commit.

i’m reading Robert Coover‘s book for my last assignment in creative writing (i have to write a “personal essay” on it). he’s a well known metafiction author. the book is a bunch of short stories, and they are so erratic and different from one another that they don’t sound like they’re from the same author, or the same time period, or the same country. this caused me much stress (i started eating the pages after the fourth story, downing them with glasses of water. i have paper cuts running down my throat now.).

so i started reading Ender’s Game to give myself a break between stories. it has read pretty fast and it’s interesting. i don’t think Orson Scott Card writes about kids very well. funny, because the only two books i’ve read of his, this one (thought i’m not done) and Lost Boys (one of his attempts at horror), have lots of stuff about kids. they always seem older than they actually are. but the writing is always fun to read.

if you don’t read and found the above information uninteresting, you should read, and find the above information interesting. but don’t read more than fifty pages into a book without being interested in it. there are other books to read.

i ate bad mexican food on friday night. following this was vomitting and a day and a half of nausea. not that bad, i know…but still. it was annoying.
