Still Outside of the Net
Books Left: 94
Current Book: Under the Net by Iris Murdoch
This weekend I attempted to acquire a new copy of Under the Net. I went to Barnes and Noble, and of course they did not have a copy. Luckily, I was able to get a photo of my friend Aaron reading.
Now the book is on its way from Amazon. I’m half expecting it to not show up, as I fear the Universe does not want me to finish this book. This is unfortunate because I was talking to someone else about the plot the other day, and I realized with the odd mess of characters I’m really looking forward to finding out what happens next!
If you happen to be on Amazon, be sure and pre-order The Book of Unnecessary Quotation Marks! The author, Bethany Keeley, is the fiance of one of my best friends from high school, and an awesome person!
Admittedly, I haven’t yet myself, because a) I am a bad person, and b) I didn’t want it to mess with the shipping speed of my half-finished book. But I’m really excited about it!

You certainly are not a bad person.
Hey – why not read a book out order? I know you have in your possession a few books that are on the list. Why not read one of those?
Because once I start reading them out of order that will give me permission to read them out of order. Once that happens I will get in the habit of reading only the ones that I want to read, and will skip the ones that sound boring, and then I’ll end up with just a list of the boring-sounding books to read. To keep this from happening, I have to read them in order. After I finish the next couple books, I already have a bunch of them (thanks to you!) so that will really help.
OK, then.
Jeepers, Meredith! Books out of order?? Duh!
Alli– I hope that book finally makes its way to you! The universe has GOT to let up somehow.
Also, I LOVE your Hot Guys Reading Books concept because a) I love hot guys, and b) I love hot guys that read. I feel like they’re becoming much rarer, but will keep my eyes peeled for a good one to submit!
Thanks, Rebecca! I did finally get the book, but it’s not as good as I remembered. I shall have to write an actual post on this.
As a displaced graduate student, I would be in prime spot to take photos of hot guys reading. And yet, if only graduate students weren’t so very mad. But, oh how handsome your friend Aaron.
Grad students are a crazy bunch, but photos of them are still welcome!
