One Word: Stash



About time for a binge. . . 
though I've already read 
The Girl Who Played With Fire.

I just finished
The History of Love
and have 
The Lacuna in the "next" position.

What are your favorites right now?

Oh dang...I'm not sure I've got one. Reading a book and restringing and playing with either the guitar or the banjo are both sitting to be putup on my to do list as soon as I find something else to put down.

I'm really enjoying The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell. It's a historical romance set in the late 1700's when the Dutch were trading with the Japanese. I'd really recommend it!

ah, Meri, you know this is a love that I share with you.
But I seem to have waned in my reading habits this year. I started "The Lacuna" in June, and it still sits on my nightstand, only half-read - not like me at all.
The last thing I really enjoyed was "We are all made of glue".
Do let me know how you get on with Ms Kingsolver's novel. To me, it's just not as good as The Poisonwood.

Astrological Profile

So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)
