Books and such...

I just finished The In-Betweeen World of Vikram Lall . and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I often find books at work that catch my eye, but after a few pages put them down. This was interesting and a lucky find. I have a bad habit of speed-reading through the last pages of a book that I enjoy. I don't want it to end and yet know the end is coming, and so I practically skim every last word in anticipation for something profound.Usually by the final sentence my heart is racing and I am exhausted, but fulfilled.
Tomorrow is the fourth of July. I have no plans other than to go to work and avoid large crowds. I hopefully will manage to drink a beer or two, and ooh and ahh at least a little bit at a few colorful explosions in the sky. I have never felt very American, and this year is no exception, though it has been fun to reminice about my past few years of July Fourths, in Peru, Costa Rica and Northern Ireland. A true patriot indeed.
