Fiction Time



As some of you know from Facebook, I'm preparing to go back to school soon. Hence, not much time for blogging. But right now it's full-on winter, and I think it's about time to dip into the massive stack of fiction I've been hoarding for blizzardy days. Yesterday I snagged the second-to-newest House of Night book and A Lion Among Men at a secondhand bookstore. I also have the Gormenghast trilogy, a pile of Peter Straub novels, Mockingjay, and the new reprint of John Crowley's Little, Big.

On the nonfiction front, there's Errol Morris's book about the MacDonald murder case, and two books about the Meredith Kircher case.

What you going back to school for? I have one year left as of December and it looks like Jeff may have been pushed back another quarter but not quite sure yet. So we may have to have two separate grad parties but I am hoping not.

I'm taking the paralegal course at the community college here, if I get in this term. I may have to wait until fall.

There's nothing quite like a warm stack of books with which to push back against winter. Well done.
Fingers crossed on getting into your course!

So true, Barbara, and thanks!

Good luck. Jeff and I found out last night that there are enough students at the place we are going so they are offering all there full time teachers parttime and most of them cant take part time. So we are losing most of our teachers because they cant live on part time and no benefits.

Oh no, that's not good. :(

To become a Paralegal is tantamount to aligning ones self to a bunch of shady ambulance chasers up to dodgy corporate lawyers.
