A few more books off the shelf

Greetings:

Well I am working on my goal of reading all the books on my shelves. I have promised myself I won't buy any new books until I have read all the ones I already have. The books I receive as gifts don't count!

Two more books are off the shelves. I read, well I have to confess, listened to, two books on my trip to New Mexico. The trip is 444 miles one way so there is plenty of time to get in a book or two. I bought the CD's last year but didn't get to them because Dan Brown's Angel's and Demons took the entire trip. A tad too violent for me, still a book worth listening to or even reading.



The first book we listened to was Baxter Black's "Hey Cowgirl Need a Ride." This was the book I was listening to that caused me to almost run out of gas in the middle of NoWhere New Mexico. I was so caught up in the story I forgot to check the gas gauge. Now that should tell you how good it was. Baxter says that is worth 450 miles of listening which I think he is pretty close.

The second book was by David Sedaris "Me Talk Pretty Some Day." My husband and I had a detailed discussion as to who picked out this book on tape. I swear I had no idea who David Sedaris was and my husband swears neither did he. So the book was a surprise, delightfully so. It actually isn't a story but short stories written by David about his life. He is hysterical. If you want to laugh out loud, this is a great book. To hear Davie read one of his stories out YouTube, he is reading one of the stories from the book, "Bend over and say ah."

So I have been able to take a few books off the shelves, and looking forward to reading even more. Want to make room for all the new books I am lusting after.
