15 Books

A good friend of mine sent me this challenge: Fifteen books or book series you've read that will always stick with you, so here goes:

Butternut Bill and the Bee Tree (1st book I remember reading)
Miss Twiggleys Tree
Frederick (about a mouse who wants to think about colors instead of collect food)
Smoky the Cowhorse
King of the Wind
D'Aulaires' book of Norse myths
The Hobbit
Moby Dick
Huckleberry Finn
Kon Tiki
The Alphabet versus the Goddess
The Patrick O'Brien novels
Under the Vulture Tree
Witches & Neighbors
Leaves of Grass

It's interesting--once I began, I thought of all these cool books I read when I was young and I had a hard time "growing up" and thinking of all the cool books I read as an adult. Some resistance there, I think, to "coming back" to adult life :) So the last books were squeezed out of my brain with some effort. I want to read Frederick again, and Miss Twiggley's Tree ...

Disturbed--The Band and the State of Mind

Just feeling a little out of it; worked too hard. Maybe I'll learn the lesson this time, but I didn't learn it last time. There is still hope, though. There's always a glass half full ... (Oh, yeah, I like to listen to the band; they do a lot of my primal screaming).

KLA is always a learning experience; this time it was just a little too exhausting. I did buy a Nook and I'm reading novels again, which is a good thing. I hope to even out my energy enough to take some kind of vacation this summer.

I really enjoyed 23 Things Kansas before I dropped out to become a brain case. Hopefully, I'll get back in there in the next weeks and catch up. Information crush! Informacrush! This is my brain on information and it looks like a fried egg.
