Today's installment from my library: a book by the guy who wrote Wicked.

And now - to the scotch.

Part Two in my little review meme: And now for something completely different.

The first random book from my library was a young adult fantasy. This next is a collection of essays on "necessary memories from history and the arts". Not something one might expect to find in my collection, but something I'm glad I bought. Oddly enough, I ordered it after seeing the author hawk the book on The Daily Show.

I was realizing yesterday that I don't post all that much. I must be terribly boring (or invisible) for my flist.

Anyway, this got me to thinking: I should make my own meme! For none of those in existence excite me. And lo, I also remembered that it is much cheaper to re-read books than it is to buy new ones (yes, it's random. I am that way.) So I thought, "I should do a random review of a book in my personal library once a day! And if I can't remember it well enough to review it, I should re-read it!"

And thus was born the new infinite-part series (since I doubt I'll stop buying books any time soon).
