About Me

Update on recent reads, loved City Room by Arthur Gelb, Assassins' Gate by George Packer, Takeover by Charlie Savage, yes I am a lover of non-fiction... I read Namesake, because I thought I should and read an article that said the NEA released a study where less than 50% of Americans will pick up a novel this year... Any who liked it, but not loved it. I really thought Gogol was kinda a punk to be honest.

My Interests

Okay I have not updated this in quite sometime, so for music, the Boss is not my favorite person right now after the 20 year marriage breakdown... I mean seriously I was 5 and had a Born in the USA sweatshirt and this is what he does to me? Other than that for books, Freakonomics and The End of Poverty by Jeffery Sachs I recommend. TV I've given up on Laguna and the OC, mainly because as an almost albino, freckled, Irish-Catholic girl, I have failed to identify with the spolied-rich SoCal girl, but I did make an effort
