Friday Five

I don't know what my deal is, but as of late I've been completely unable to finish a book. (Exception: I raced through David Sedaris's When You Are Engulfed in Flames.) I've got five books on my nightstand; all of which I've started, but none of which I've completed. And they are:

1. Look Me In the Eye (My Life with Asperger's) , John Elder Robison

2. Babbitt, Sinclair Lewis (Confession: In 11th grade honors English I wrote a term paper on this book, but I didn't actually read it. I guess that makes me a sort of Babbitt character. I did commit to myself that I would actually read it as a sort of pennance, but thus far my pennance is still due.)

3. Cary Grant, A Biography, Marc Eliot (I looked at the pictures.)

4. 740 Park: The Story of the World's Richest Apartment Building, Michael Gross (I've been working on this one for over two years, I think.)

5. Montgomery Clift: A Biography, Patricia Bosworth (This was a new arrival.)

Today's Song: Small Town Saturday Night, Hal Ketchum (In concert tomorrow in Sandy.)

OMG. I am the worst at starting and not finishing books. I'm doing better now that I read every day on the train-I would go months without reading anything but magazines. The shame! I'd love to borrow the Montgomery Clift if you finish it.

Yes Justin, I'd like to borrow that one too. Do you think G would mind?

Hi VT.
