Literary Variety
I just updated the sidebar of my blog here, as I often do, to reflect the fact that I have finished reading a book. I've found that I've done that quite a bit in recent weeks - a lot of books that I've been reading in some form or another simultaneously and sequentially have all come to a finish lately. Looking at the new sidebar, I'm impressed with the variety of the kinds of books I read. the last seven books on there are all wildly different.
Scalia Dissents - Starting today, I am reading a collection of the best dissents from the Supreme Court's best writer. A book mostly for law junkies.
Free - A businessy book about pricing models and economic theories.
Watchmen - The most highly acclaimed graphic novel of all time. Or, if you ask Shelly: a comic book.
Grimm's Fairy Tales - The original (okay, translated into English) violent, random stories told by the peasantry of 18th Century Germany.
Reading the OED - A lighthearted book about words and the English language
The Believing Heart - A faith-promoting LDS book.
Gone With the Wind - The Great American Novel.
I mean, I think I'm pretty cool and everything, but who else do you know who would even be interested in reading all of those wildly different books, let alone in rapid sequence? I am a unique animal, that's for sure.
