miss contraire's little library

Currently! I am so bored at work right now. Seriously.

BOOKFACES This book is huge and pretty! Edition

Currently reading. I’m sorry, Colum McCann. I’ll get back to you soon.

Book-related things I did over the last few days that have been haunting me in my sleep, or, more appropriately, things I’m too ashamed to share on my main blog so I’m posting here for less people to see:

• I won a signed and numbered special edition of this book I’m holding on eBay. I will receive it in two weeks, maybe less. The point is, that’s going to be my third copy of “The Wild Things”. Damn it, Dave. Why did you have to release three, equally pretty editions of one book?
• I started following the “Infinite Summer” program which means at least 75 pages of “Infinite Jest” a week. This will eventually lead to a four-month reading experience.
• And because of that, I have started reading other things as well.
• But “Infinite Jest” keeps calling out to me, telling me I’m doing the wrong thing.
• I’m not in the mood to debate with myself at the moment.

Currently reading… “Nowhere Man” by Aleksandar Hemon

I didn’t expect to finish Asterios Polyp in a day, so I had a hard time choosing which book to read next. But I glanced upon this and thought about it no further. I might try to read another book along with this one. I’ve never tried reading several books at a time, but I’m itching to read one of my other pending books lying around here.
