10.May.2009 Sunday Salon: State of the Week
I spent two days of my weekend watching Lost season 2 and Heroes season 2 on DVDs. Gosh somebody stop me! These two shows are pure geniuses. Honestly.
Book-wise, I’m reading three books right this week. I kinda paused to read Burnt Shadows to read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. For someone from a society who’s quite obsessed about IQ and accomplishment (aren’t they all?), it is totally an awesome book. Had good talk with my dad too about bits from it. I’m three quarter of the way now.
On my nightstand I have Tales from Outer Suburbia, which I read every night a few minutes before I go to sleep. It’s a collection of short stories, so I’m thinking that reading one story or two on one sitting is the way to go at it, and I really enjoy it! I read a book of short stories before, I just kept going to finish it, and it wasn’t great. So I reckon I should try another way. Reading them slowly happens to be great. I love it!
I was thinking to combine my Mailbox Monday post into this Sunday Salon post, but heck, I’ll just do it tomorrow. As it happens, I don’t have book reviews in line right now. So I’ll distract people with other posts.
Or a baby walrus! Oh look!
