59. Ernest Hemingway: Rediscovered and 60. A New Earth

This book was mostly photographs of Papa looking macho with his leather vest and rifle on knee or at the helm of his boat practicing his own brand of politics. I can't help myself, I love this guy. I am glad he isn't a law maker or in charge of governing the world, but I sure am glad he existed.

I haven't completely abandoned my 100 book quest, but I have been very sluggish about my discipline for finishing up anything. I did read A New Earth again, but it just wasn't the same, I was hoping that every time I picked up this book I would be overcome with the urge to clean, like I was the first time. It was not so. Either way, it counts.

I am still lumbering through 5 or so books. We will see what happens.

I am trying to study, really I am...

How can I focus on creating audit trails for medical records with this looping in my head?

Finals

Hello. I can't believe it is time for finals already, this semester just flew by! That means that July 4th is right around the corner and I am screwed. C'est la vie.

My current reading situation hasn't changed all that much.

Dreams from my father- Barak Obama: I am about half way through, and though, I am very ADD when it comes to my presidential candidates right now, I do really enjoy his writing.

Spring Snow- Mishima: I am over half way through with this book, and the story doesn't really seem that incredible, but the prose is so rich and just different from any other that I read it really slow to savor it all.

Book about Hemingway: I am almost done, and I know, Hemingway is an overpraised misogynist blah blah blah. I tell you, I don't care. I adore him. I like his raw, un-flowery style, his silly machismo and his leather vests.

A New Earth- Yeah, I am reading it again, and I will count it again, so shut up.

Brave New World-Aldous Huxley: I barely started it, so far, I am not into it, yet.

Coming Home-Rosamund Pilcher: It is springtime, I need my fix of my special lady. She is the opposite of Hemingway, flowery flowery flowery.
