Chip's Spynotebook

Of course, the 8,762 page count is based on the print editions and I read quite a few of these by listening to them on my iPhone at the gym. Not sure I would have made it through all of Stieg Larsson if I was having to read all the Swedish names and places instead of listening to them. And of course, the more interesting the book was, the more reason I had to go to the gym. But, it was kind of awkward listening to some of the things that Lisbeth went through while trying not to look horrified while riding the bike.

Ender’s Game was the only re-read of the year. It was for a book club. We were also supposed to read A Wrinkle In Time but it just didn’t catch my attention this time around like it did when I was kid. Instead, I read When You Reach Me which was about a girl whose favorite book is A Wrinkle In Time. Compromise.

Daemon and Freedom (TM) were better than I thought they would be and Downtown Owl kind of sucked.

Any books y’all recommend for me to read this year?

If for some reason, the list does not come through on the facebook note, you can see it on the blog.

Something is going on with the lifestream plugin on my blog. I upgraded a bunch of stuff at once which is a pretty bad idea. So, there may be a few days of blog turbulence while I get things worked out.

We go our house appraised today. Jocelyn came over to knit with Scrappy after lunch at the pub. This way, someone else was able to see our house when it is the cleanest it will probably be until the next time we have a week off of work to clean.

While they knitted, we were able to finish up the second season of Dexter. We’re a little late to the game but working through them fast.

Back to work tomorrow. Ugh.

We spent the day fixing up and cleaning our house. We are getting it appraised tomorrow for a refinance. We even washed the windows for the first time … ever?

And we had Taco Stand for lunch.
