readin'

Went the Apache Junction library on Saturday. Probably 15 miles away, but the closest worthwhile library in our county that we are allowed to use for free. Queen Creek has a brand new library but we would have to pay something like $50 per year to check out materials because we are technically in the next county, even though our mailing addy says "Queen Creek." Anyway....



I grabbed up Harry Harrison's "The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell". I used to love the tales of the stainless steel rat, aka, Slippery Jim di Griz, the famed intergalactic criminal and sometimes famed intergalactic crimefighter many, many moons ago. So when I stumbled upon one that I thought I hadn't read, yippee! I'll give you a verdict after all the facts are in.


















Then, as suspected, I went straight for more Neil Gaiman. I just returned "Fragile Things" and the library had "Anansi Boys" and "American Gods". I opted for the latter. Heath, Christian, I know you guys probably read this one. Worthwhile?



And Dawn got about a gazabillion kids books and stuff on the U.S. Constitution. She needs to do a U.S. and AZ Constitution class to work on her AZ teaching certification. Right now, she's sort of grandfathered in with her MI certificate. She used to have one here, too, but I guess that needs periodic updating.



What are all my friends in cyberspace reading these days!?!?!?!
