At my current temp job I get a lot of free books. I need to buy a new book shelf in fact.
One of my favorite finds is Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It came out in 1990 and after reading I was mad at myself that I hadn't discovered it before. Did the library in Overton not carry it? Did Paul, Graham or Chase not know about it? Questions that have no answers. I recommend picking it up if you haven't already read it.
I recently finished I Was Amelia Earhart by Jane Mendelsohn. It's a fictional, romantic take on what could have happened to her and her navigator Fred Noonan on the flight where they disappeared over the Pacific. When I found it at work I noticed that they previous reader had folded the corners of certain pages as a book mark. I cursed their name. I hate when people do that. I unfolded the corners but the damage was done. Get a fucking book mark. Memorize the page or something.
With all the new technologies coming out, I like to read a physical copy of a book. Plus I'm always hoping a cute girl on the subway sees my old-fashionedness and walks up to me. Only in dreams.
