In general I like words, sounds, and food.

I've been on my own ass lately, trying to awaken my inner bookworm. Pulling a worm out of yourself can be a harrowing experience, but I'm good and ready for its withdrawal. So far this summer I have read The Stranger by Albert Camus, partially because I had never read it, but mostly because I liked the cover. It was a good, quick read. Just what I needed to kick things off with. While I paged my way through, I hadn't put it together that this is the book that inspired The Cure to write the song Killing An Arab. The funny thing is that when I got to the scene where the protagonist is confronting the Arab on the beach with a gun in his hand, the bass line of that song started playing in my head. I read two or three pages with this musical accompaniment before I was like "Heeeey!" I'm halfway through No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July. I think it's a brilliant book, but my perception may be skewed by my hopeless crush on Ms. July. I am currently 2/3rds of my way through The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I am reading this almost solely because my friend KC suggested it. I like it. It's kind of like watching a film in paper form, but I'm enjoying the read. I have many more books cued up to read after these. Suggestions are welcome.
