Break Time

Time for a short break from non-fiction. Not that I'm getting burned out or anything, but with 1 week till moving into the new house I need to focus.

A break from non-fiction, but not from reading altogether. I am re-reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline in preparation for the Book Lounge Happy Hour on July 26th at The Bridge in downtown Columbia. Now if I can only figure out where I packed that Atari 2600 joystick . . .

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
The most fun I've had reading a novel in a long time.

Heroes

So the reading project has come to a screeching halt, I'm sad to say. With birthdays, 4th of July festivities, and packing I have had a hard time even remembering where the books were!

I'm still trying to get some reading done at lunch though and I have to say, the more I read about Matthew Fontaine Maury in Tracks in the Sea by Chester G. Hearn, the further he rises in my list of personal heroes.

Currently I have him listed above Forge from the X-Men and below Ash from Evil Dead/Army of Darkness fame.
Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart

Lets hope I can get some inspiration from the honorable Mr Maury and the chiansaw-handed Ash and get back into the swing of things.
