A friend who knows about this blog (calling her a "reader o' the blog" may be a stretch) asked me if I feel "pressure" to blog regularly. The truth is that I do not. I am well aware that no one out there is awaiting new posts with bated breath (Meaningless Digression No. 1: I understand that "bated breath" is the correct spelling of this particular term, despite the fact that most spell it "baited breath." Neither spelling makes much sense anyway as this is an idiom that must give those learning American English as a foreign language some significant pause. A later post will discuss some other pet peeves of mine when it comes to language. The pet peeviest of mine, though, is "I could care less." THAT MEANS YOU DO CARE. THE TERM IS "I COULDN'T CARE LESS." THAT SHOWS HOW TRULY LITTLE YOU CARE. MORON.).
For various reasons, the reading has slowed in the last week. I expected to have a post regarding Freedom by Daniel Suarez, the second Daniel Suarez Virtual Book Club selection, in the books by now (Meaningless Digression No. 2: Get it?! "In the books." I tell ya, I've got a million horrible pun and pun like jokes). For various reasons, I am only one-third of the way through the book and cannot provide a blog entry ETA.
So, if you're reading this, you get blog filler. I sincerely hope that you haven't gotten this far. Or this far. Or this far. Stop. Seriously, stop.
After Freedom, Comprehending Columbine by Ralph W. Larkin (assuming that I motivate to the library to pick it up today or tomorrow--as always, apologies to the author and publisher) has jumped to the top of the pile o' books (see sidebar). It was recommended by someone who read this post.
Live long, read and prosper. We'll leave the lights on for you.
