Two days of nothing to read and I felt like I was going through withdrawals. So last night, Babe and I went to the bookstore where we narrowed down my selections. I couldn't decide between 8 different books and so we laid them all out while he gave me his suggestions. Note that the Bible was actually a gift for our niece. Anyway, according to him, I always complain after reading a Steven King book so that was nixed. He thought The Distant Hours and Life After Life were both a little lame and set aside four of the five books I ended up taking home. Can I tell you how much I love these trips.
After an hour in the store I finally decided on "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon, "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood, "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield and "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. I've actually chosen to start off with "In Cold Blood" and I'm a little intrigued but that seems slightly demented.

I'm really excited about them all and can't wait to dive in. Babe of course thinks it'll take me about a week to get through all of them but I give it a month.
