I am trying to patiently wait for the books I ordered to arrive. No, I am to cheap for next day so I have to wait it out. I hate waiting for stuff like this, especially for books...makes me feel like I ordered it off the Pony Express!
But I guess it will build the anticipation. Besides, I have a butt-load of books to occupy myself with. I bought them all on hardcover because there is nothing I HATE more than paperback. Ugh. The feel of that flimsy cover, and how it bends and breaks by the end of the book. How the corners get all worn and the cover image fades and cracks. I HATE THAT.
Gimme a nice hardcover. With its perfect binding and smooth surface. That cracking sound it makes when you open it just right. And the smell. Oh, the wonderful smell of the paper and the glue. There is nothing I like more than looking at a shelf filled with hardcover books. All different colors and sizes. Hmmmm....makes me happy :)
Anyway, I decided to start with the book by H.G. Wells, "The Invisible Man". I don't know why. It just sounds interesting. I told myself that I would not have any rhyme or reason or order when going about reading from my list of 1001 books to read. I would just pick one and start. So while I wait...for what seems like eternity....for the book to get here I'll just chill out and blog or read other things.
New Years Eve is tomorrow. Is it weird that I don't feel like this year is ready to be over? I've never felt that way before. And yet I am looking forward to the newness of a new year. Hmmm...I wonder what 2010 has in store for me?
Lots of books hopefully :)
