a fox's wedding

one of my goals for this year (i don't make resolutions because i never stick with them) was to read more. so i went to the library yesterday and grabbed a few books. one of them from the fast read section (motivation). started reading Divisadero by MIchael Ondaatje, a Canadian author who i've mentioned before. i'm only about 43 pages in (the trials of reading at work... shhhhhh) and it's classic Ondaatje... visceral, sensual and so tangible you can touch it.


"Everything is biographical, Lucian Freud says. What we make, why it is made, how we draw a dog, who it is we are drawn to, why we cannot forget. Everything is collage, even genetics. There is a hidden presence of others in us, even those we have known briefly. We contain them for the rest of our lives, at every border that we cross." (pg16)

i have a feeling i'll get through this one quickly.

other books i grabbed (random much?):
The Giver - Lois Lowry (my sister loved this one... )
The Children of Men - P.D. James (made into a movie... i usually like reading the book first)
The Best Thing for You - Annabel Lyon (3 novellas i think, also another Canadian author)
Everywoman's Money Book - Betty Jane Wylie & Lynne MacFarlane (hahah co-insides with another goal for this year... better money management... hahaha)
The Idiot's Guide to Philosophy - Jay Stevenson (i wanted a brief review instead of going back to course notes {blehhh}, also includes a little section on karma... hahaha)

i'll let you know if they're any good.
for now... back to bed with my cup of tea.
