picked up another book from the freebie shelf at work ... Gore Vidal - The Smithsonian Institution ... i've never read his work ... but i've seen him in interviews ... so ... we'll see how it goes ...
finished 'further tales' ... a little disappointed because usually Maupin's characters are so richly developed ... this book kind of felt like i cop out ... but ... i still love all the references to SF ... and homo life in the 80's ... i'm sure i'll still end up reading the remaining books in the series ...
okay ... i settled on a book from the freebie pile at work ... "Further Tales of the City" - Armistead Maupin. I loved the original mini-series ... and book ... "Tales of the City" ... so ... I figure this should be an easy 'first book' for me ...
we had a "shit-lit club" at an old job. once a month we'd bring books we'd already read. the name came from the "one man's trash" concept, not that the books were all bad.
anyway, so this way no one had to bother with a library or buying anything.
Every time i look at a facebook profile that shows all the books someone has read ... i kick myself for not getting to the library and picking up a fun book to read. TECH books are not allowed!! This one is for pure fun ... no geeking out!

I've been all magazines the last few weeks. I should read an actual book again one of these days.

clifford's girl is "Emily Elizabeth" so there. I'm a natural. I do make a good chimp, better lemur, but a good chimp.
