Saturday afternoons at the library are getting to be a pattern with me and monkey butt. She runs around inside and I try and find something to read for the week ahead. I am hooked on guy gaverial kay right now. Reading the second half of the Sarantine Mosaic. This book is moving a lot faster than the first.

One good thing about chasing Miss Chloe is that she sometimes leads me into different areas of the library. So instead of just picking up the same old sci/fi/fantasy stuff I find other subjects to expand my horizons. For example I picked up "Out of Place" the memoir of Edward Said (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Said) on my last visit. I tried to read Orientalism some time ago. But I became distracted by the munchkin pictured above. I have a dim hope that the memoir will encourage me to pick up Orientalism again and read all the way through.

But I also picked up a Kim Stanley Robinson world's gonna end novel. So we will have to see how far we get into the whole serious reading thing.

This was taken outside the library at britannia. She is laughing like a maniac at a big black lab that was trying to lick her face
