I still experience that over-stimulated feeling, like when my mother would take my little sister and me to our local library and we were allowed to bring home no more than five books. Yesterday a book I’d long anticipated arrived “Fire In the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz.” To say DW is one of my mentors is a given. I am one of the fortunate folks to have known him in real life. Needless to say, I’m devouring this book like some exotic treat. What are you reading? Does it engage you? Enthrall you? Bore you?]]>

  1. Gobble Gobble! Happy Holidaze. I am currently reading the new John Irving book and believe it or not…a “new” Kurt Vonnegut book! Oh and “Girl Gone” is in the wings waiting. I love new books too. Happy Hump Day to all and to all a new book.

  2. Great to have you back at the HUMP, Robert! I’m reading Steven King’s 11/22/63. I like it but it’s fairly slow-moving.

  3. I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or weblog posts in this kind of area. I finally stumbled upon your site. Reading this information… so i’m satisfied that I have an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I found out just what I needed. I so much, no doubt, will make certain to not overlook this website and give it a glance regularly.

  4. Greetings from across the ocean! This is just what I was looking for, and you wrote it well. Thanks so much!

  5. I enjoy your blog so much and am reading (in addition to all these great links!) Wild by Cheryl Strayed. It’s memoir, and I love it!
