I finished reading Jonathan Carroll's Sleeping in Flames this afternoon and now I'm about to drive myself nuts because all I want to do is read, but I don't have anything here that will fulfill the yearning... We have several books I haven't read, but I just can't bring myself to be inspired to read them. How can you read just anything after finishing a Jonathan Carroll book and then (oh yes, I forgot to mention) the first five issues of Clive Barker's graphic novel of The Strange and Secret Show? A colleague went to Heroes Con this weekend and purchased the sixth one (only one we're missing), so now I must wait until I get it from her before I can continue reading that. I was half thinking of re-reading a Barker novel... but no, I want another Carroll book! I ordered White Apples today as PLCMC doesn't have it and I don't want to go through the trouble of an ILL. I started reading the only Christopher Moore book I have yet to read tonight - we went to Borders and I read the first few chapters of Practical Demonkeeping. His first and yet, I can't believe I haven't read it yet. I've read all the others... If only my favorite authors would produce a new book on demand, just to satisfy my cravings! I guess then, though, I'd never discover anyone new... Alas... At least I have my boys (you know, Widespread Panic) serenading me from Bonnaroo right now! Ahh... heaven. Well, if somehow I could combine their music with a great read, then I'd be all set. Wouldn't that be cool? Hmm... a soundtrack made specifically for a book? I'd still be picky, though... couldn't be just any book. How can I be a librarian and be so picky in what I read?! Guess I just follow my yearnings and can't just pick any ol' book up at any ol' time. (PS I'm also in need of a good audiobook... I have two Audible credits, but can't decide what to get. Again, I'm in that picky state where nothing might be able to satisfy it!)
