It's Been A While... And I Think I've Figured Out Why.

"What brings you here?" Shea asked at last.
The tall man looked sharply at him and uttered a deep, low chuckle that caught them all by surprise.
"You, Shea," he murmured. "I came looking for you." Allanon to Shea from The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks.

The book is, I'm sure, quite excellent, but I'm guessing it's not something I was in the mood for reading at the time. I just couldn't get into it. I do want to read it, so it's going back on the list a little bit further down the way. Maybe next time I'll be able to read it with gusto. As it was, I'd say to myself that I wanted to read, but then would look at my book and think that I couldn't be bothered. I hate when that happens, and I should know well enough by now that when I do that it's time to pick up the next book on the list and start to read. Nothing wrong with having two books on the go at once, right?

Anyway, what I did read was a reasonably opening to what could be, (I know a lot of people who'd say 'is') a very compelling tale. Some of the descriptions and explanations are a little bit wordy, but I guess you can't have everything. I do kind of look forward to picking it up next time with knowing what to expect better than I did before, but for now, I'm moving on before my reading head atrophies and falls off.

A Little Chuckle.

So, on Friday evening, Mir took me out to dinner as part of our valentine celebration with each other. It was very nice, and I had a great time. Nice big booth to ourselves, the low light was a bit of a problem, but not for me, cause I'm short. Anyway, while we were there, talking about Vegas and T-Shirts and all kinds of things, including Michael, we came across the following:




It was just such a chuckle, I had to share.
