Feisty Gretchen!!
I hate how while I was on a date last night my sister texted me that she hates how I always hide things when I'm "seeing" someone. Oh Lord. It is not about her, except it really is, in her mind. Ugh. If you are reading this, and we used to date, just know that your existence was a real stress in Lisa's life.
I hate how when I'm eating eggs or dairy, I'll sometimes get a twinge of how gross it is while I'm eating it. I feel like I need to hold on to these last animals-based parts of my diet, but even typing this sentence has made that harder.
I hate how I have to go back to work tomorrow morning. Christmas Break, you have been amazing.
I hate doing dishes.

I hate how I am going to go buy another new book even though I have 74320987 unread ones on my shelves. I hate how I finished my book this morning (Nabokov, solid) and I've wasted all day wondering what to read next and, of course, decided on something that I haven't purchased, yet. Unlike the three I bought yesterday.
Oh, I love it. I just decided to read Updike's last book of short stories, next, and I can't be derailed. But I will do your method when I get back from the book store because usually when I read short stories, I read something else at the same time. I like spacing out the short stories.
You know what is so awesome? I'm going to go buy that book and it's pretty and has a swell cover and then I'm going to go buy a thyme iced tea at Stumptown on Belmont and the combination is going to give me joy.
I just ordered Code of the Woosters on amazon yesterday, Seth. I hesitate to tell you when I start reading, but you'll see it on my update, of course. :)
Well, I'd have to wait for the Wodehouse to get here, and I got free shipping, so...I wanted that one to be my first. Everyone says it's their favorite. I just don't want to be let down. It'll break my heart.
Thanks, Seth. I think I will, too.


First Sarah has me taking baths and now this. I should run away from here forever before I grow an afro.

Thanks!
Okay, Seth. Here are my five I'd been neglecting to want to read, abc order:
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy
In the Woods by Tana French
Personal Days by Ed Park*
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
*I bought this based on a goodreads review back in '97, I think.

I'm going to look them up on goodreads and see what my friends have rated them.
Haha!
I actually realized that each of these purchases was based on a review from goodreads, so these are the people to hold responsible.
Bel Canto--Amanda
Dud Avocado--RBN. He's gone, now.
In the Woods--Kasia
Personal Days--Someone from the good old days of goodreads who I forgot.
The Secret History--karen

I must have some build-in radar or something....

I think I'll go look for Wodehouse. You're impossible Seth. You got Greatchen. And now you dragged Sarah over to the dark side. I need to know what all the fuss is about.
Haha, Gretchen!
The problem with goodreads is that at least one of your friends that you respect hates every book. It only takes one bad review to throw me off.

He didn't get me to read Wodehouse, Kasia. Wodehouse did in the Paris Review Interviews that I just read. I knew Seth liked him, though. I've actually wanted to read Wodehouse ever since Frankie did in Angela's Ashes.
Okay, I narrowed my choices down to The Secret History and The Dud Avocado and flipped for it and Dud won. Hope it's not one.

Me neither. I've never read any Wodehouse. I plan to, though.
