I'm ready to pick up some summer reading. <br /><br />At long last, I'm reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez which I'm finding astonishing and beautiful and crazy. Tomorrow I'll start The Motion of the Ocean by Janna Cawrse Esary about her honeymoon on a small boat (for two years!).

As for me, I have a big pile of books checked out from the library, but I am not that excited about any of them. Maybe it's me.
