The pretentious, the educational, the fun, I give you the list of books I want to read while the sun is shining*.

Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Saw the movie, bet the book is better.

The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne. Because apparently the guy could write, we’ll see.

The Divine Comedy by Dante. Continuing my survey of classic literature there was no way I would read in high school.

Kai Lung’s Golden Hours by Ernest Bramah. Because it’s there. Also, it reminded me of a story about crickets in my Through Golden Windows series.

Africa in the Iron Age . Continuing my study of continental world history.

March Upcountry by David Weber. His Honor Harrington books were good, let’s see if he can pull off another good series.

March to the Sea by David Weber. Ditto.

That should last me a few weeks at least.

*Should the sun decide to shine in North Idaho.

To mix things up a bit, I thought I would do something I don’t often do: a meme. I stole this from Cori Matt, no, I am not original.

The Instructions:

a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.

The Questions:

1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One word to describe you.
12. Your flickr name.

I leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out how my answers could in any way relate to the the photos presented.

Famous last words. (It’s Cracked, NSFW language of course)

Heehee.
