Reading

So I'm bored with moving news myself, and can't imagine anyone else is that interested. So today I'm going to talk about one of my major passions - reading. I've added a new feature to my sidebar of the book(s) that I am currently reading. I found Cultivating Delight by Diane Ackerman in the bargain book section of Barnes & Noble, and being unable to resist cheap gardening essay books I bought it. I've actually had it for a while now and have been reading it off and on, usually whenever I want to soak in the bathtub. The book is broken down into different essays in short chapters, so it makes a good one to dip in and out of without losing track of what you were reading.

I like the book quite a bit, although I do agree with some of the Amazon reviewers that think she gets to enamored with her prose. But overall the book is very readable and I'm enjoying it. I don't ask much of this sort of writing, but sometimes authors get in the way of what they are writing and I don't enjoy it very much. I read some of Bern Heinrich's nature books, and I kept feeling like he was trying to prove that he's a new Thoreau and it just got really annoying. Anway, I'm just enjoying the light reading because I am expecting another book that I ordered from Amazon tomorrow, and it's going to be a boring work related book. This one is on Inventory Management and is to study up for my new job, to have an idea of what I'm doing. ;) Hopefully it won't put me to sleep.

I've also added my Now Hear This section, that shows my favorite music finds. :)
