in case of boredom . . .

I'm loving the never-ending bookworm thread on getcrafty.com right now. It's fun to see what other people are reading, and there are some great suggestions in there, too.

bumbling fools and bumblebees

Yes, I suppose it is pointless to have a book log if you never get around to reading books, but whatever. I just got back from "vacation" and damned if I didn't get to read THREE books. Also, I hated the name of this site, so I changed it to something I liked. To celebrate, I will now subject you to the following exchange:

Ms. Calendar: "You're here again? You kids really dig the library, don't you?"
Buffy: "We're literary."
Xander: "To read makes our speaking English good."

Ah, the glorious Buffy days of yore.

Summer and basement living conspire to keep me from updating this site, but I'll try to post reviewlets of vacation books sometime soon.

In the meantime, I will point you to four decent magazines I discovered while on said vacation: Look-Look (I hate their website, though), mental_floss, NYLON, and Utne, which was called The Utne Reader last time I read it, and which seems a lot less boring now than it did then.
