I finally finished that Elizabeth book. Christ. It took me like three months to read that crap. Actually, since I bought it in 1999 and started to read it then, it took me over four years to read it. No more books about royalty, methinks. At least not for awhile.\
I believe next up will be Choke by Chuck Palahniuk aka The New Guy that Everyone Loves to Hate. I've read and heard many, many anti-Palahniuk statements over the past few weeks. I've come to the conclusion that you all need to just chill out. I actually have a pile of books underneath my nighttable that are comprising my “To Be Read” List:\
–To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I've read this book many times, but haven't read it in a few years. It's one of my all-time favorites.\
–Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates by Tom Robbins. I love Tom Robbins, but bought this book when I was pregnant. As many moms could probably tell you, a pregnant woman goes through this baby tunnelvision phase and can't concentrate on anything else. Unfortunately for Mr. Robbins, his book wasn't about babies or birth or breastfeeding so it didn't hold my attention for very long.\
–Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. Just 'cause.\
–The Cave by Jose Saramago. A Spanish communist does Plato. I love this guy, despite his stylized lack of punctuation.\
–The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. Another literary casualty of my pregnancy. My copy is autographed, too!\
–Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk. I bought this around the time that the boyfriend and I first started seeing each other and, well, I was busy. ;-)\

It's snowing today. The baby is angst-ridden. Save me.\
