been a few weeks since the last entry. my own journal feels alien to me. what can you say when you pick up a few good books and lose all track of time? there will be many more visits to the public library in the near future. there are so many titles on the list it will take at least a year to make any progress. neglected classics, friends' recommendations, fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels. where do i start? finishing up a sci-fi kick and tackling wolfe's "the right stuff" but where to go from there? still haven't read lotr; keep hearing great things about "sandman"; king has just re-released "the gunslinger" w/ additional content and the final 3 installments of the series are on the way. damn. time to bury myself again.
