But this is still fun.

Inspired by my book-loving neighbors, I am going to keep track of the books I read in 2009. I won't be doing any challenges or trying to reach a certain number of books. But I'll post when I finish one and I'm going to tackle the unread books lining my shelves right now.

Right now I'm reading:

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

Malcolm Gladwell

Other books already on the shelf that need to be read:

The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky

The J Curve: A New Way to Understand Why Nations Rise and Fall

Ian Bremmer

TENDER BAR, THE

J.r. Moehringer

War and Peace

Leo Tolstoy

The Good Mother: A Novel

Sue Miller

Books that I want to read, but haven't purchased yet:

Goldengrove: A Novel

Francine Prose

The Senator's Wife (Vintage Contemporaries)

Too sticky...

But, Jenny, you say. They don't look like reindeer. No. No, they don't. Reindeer poop, maybe. But not the cute little reindeer cut-outs they were supposed to be.

I take lots of pictures of myself. Lots.

Also, known as Easter, this year. But it's my birthday every year. I'm just saying.

I've recently started watching The Office.  I know!  How could I have not seen this show before last month?  I don't know. I watch a lot of television, but most of it is animated or involves superheroes (and I don't mean Heroes, either).  My brother had a season two disc of The Office from Netflix and he told me I had to watch some of it.  So, I did.  And now I'm hooked.  I've watched the first season (only six episodes) and have just started watching the second season.  It's possible that a miracle will occur and I'll watch the third season before the fourth season starts in the Fall. 

It's a very funny show.  I'm sure you all know this already, as you have all seen it before. But I enjoy making obvious statements when I'm bored. Clearly.

Since I'm bored, I propose we play Desert Island like they do on the show.

My answers:

3 books: Anna Karenina, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Little Women

5 movies: Secretary, A Bug's Life, Go, The Mummy, and The Mummy Returns

Bonus - "Who would you do?"

Hmm... I'll have to think about this one.

I'm bored.
