1. East of Eden, John Steinbeck
Started in 2009 but finished New Year’s Day. Despite the Farrah-pariah, I loved it. I’m a bit sad that Farrah kept me off Steinbeck for this long. The family dynamics, debate over nature vs. nurture and economic climate make it shockingly relevant to today’s society. Lots to read and read into, great for discussion.
2. Dead and Gone, Charlaine Harris
Read it all on my New Year’s shift. Just as good as all the rest of the Sookie books and my treat for the last month’s 60 hour work weeks. Good resolution to some plot lines and plenty of great character interaction. I hope True Blood delivers half as well.
So I totally know better than to update anything on my website without backing up first. I really do. And yet I did not do it. I am a moron. Sadly, among the things lost are the silly amount of TV updates, my blogroll, my reading list for this year – I was over 50 but it was so nice to have a record!- and the attempted Couch to 5K at Altitude effort. Also missing, my home improvement posts. This is less of a tragedy because I was planning on doing a new post/slideshow for them but STILL. I am a moron.
Now that I’ve gotten the site back to something functional (ish) I think I’m getting ready for bed. Making a trip down the mountain tomorrow, so if I can snake some free wi-fi there will be more improvements/additions.
