Carcinogens.

"You can't let your dog crap on the sidewalk, but it's perfectly acceptable to blow carcinogens down other peoples throats. Somewhere along the way, smokers exempted themselves from the social contract."
- from "This Is Where I Leave You" by Jonathan Tropper.

I have had a marvellous time reading this book. Now that its over I feel a little lost but I'm excited for whatever I read next.

Listless.

there are eight days until the beginning of my summer, one exam, one and a half hours. So at the end of all of this I shall try to complete my patchwork quilt and start my summer reading list. So far the list is pretty long and I don't think I will be able to get through it but I will try. Thus far this is what is on it:
1. War and Peace, Tolstoy
2. The Harry Potter series
3. The Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway
4. Tender is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald
5. The Bronze Horseman, Simons ( I'm halfway through already, so hopefully this one will be quite quick)

The list grows everyday but I know that I'm going to start with War and Peace and see how far I can get. Oh summer how I love your keen rays and bright light.

Surround me with paper.

I. Love. Books.
I recently purchased 'Of The Abuse Of Words' by John Locke. Its quite fascinating, according to Mr. Locke, 'If a man thinks without knowing it, the sleeping and waking man are two persons'. How insightful!

Paper love.

I am reading The Time Travellers Wife at the moment. It would be convenient to quit my schooling obligations and work through my list of books I want to read. If only.

Dictionary bliss.

As I was browsing through my pocket dictionary today, working on expanding my vocabulary I found some additions made in the two thousand and nine edition. My favorite of these words was 'Globesity'. This apparently meaning the growing problem of global obesity. Thrilling isn't it. There were many others but perhaps I shall inform the 'blogosphere' of these at a later date.

New moon.

I just finished reading 'twilight' and one chapter into 'New Moon'. I can not wait until the movie comes out, but I have to finish it first.
