I’ve been on a reading kick lately, which is pretty unusual for me. The last couple of years i could easily count the number of books i’d read on one hand by New Year’s Eve. This year will finally see a change in that realm for me.
I finally finished Nothing, which was a pretty much worthless account of one agnostic woman’s tiffs with her in-laws over religion. Nothing profound, not really something i’d recommend anyone read in order to better understand my point of view. I don’t understand agnostics. Make up your mind already – amirite?
Then i went and picked up The God Delusion, and that will definitely be the next book i finish. I’m pretty excited about that one.
In the meantime, i’ve read Blink by Malcom Gladwell, which was also a completely pointless book. Then last week i literally ran into the library and took about two minutes to select and check out Accidentally On Purpose, which i don’t even want to think about anymore it was so bad. Why anyone signed a book deal with a woman who essentially just wanted the world to know how much of a pain in the ass she is, i’ll never know.
I’m now about to finish It Sucked and then I Cried by Heather Armstrong (dooce). It’s very funny and all, but in a way i can’t wait to finish it because this is my second pregnancy/motherhood book in a row, and i’m seriously tired of hearing about it. On the upside, these two books have strongly reinforced my conviction to never, ever have children – to the point that i’m seriously considering doubling and maybe tripling up on the birth control methods.

Yay! You’re in the no-kids-club with me and Kelly and Maria! We can go out and get plowed while our friends are at home with babies attached to their chests. Yay us!!

Love the cross-stitch book cover!
I have a hard time getting myself off the computer and into a book, maybe its an attention span thing.
and booya for not wanting to have kids.

Calee – i thought you wanted kids eventually some day…? We can all go out and get plowed until that time, but eventually you’re going to be home changing diapers while we’re… home… watching television.
