I may have mentioned that I was really caught up in reading The Weapon?
After a long day at work today, I was anxious to get home and back into the read. I thought ahead to my drive home. The cats had at least another day of food, there was an ample supply of beer and cigarettes, plenty of human food as well...
I was out of soda, so rather than stop by the store on the way home, I just bought three Diet Dr. Peppers out of the vending machine at work.
There we go; no delays to me getting home and sitting down with a good book.
I got home, went to grab my stuff out of the car, and...
...guess what I forgot at work?
That's right. The book.
That sound you hear? That is the Fates laughing at me.
Tan, check your AOL email.

I'm almost compulsive about always having a book with me. Usually a second one is available "just in case."
The last time I got stuck in The Most Goddawful Traffic Jam, I sat there and finished my current book and started on another while creeping forward 6 feet per minute.
If I go somewhere without a book I invariably get stuck waiting with nothing to do.
Oh, cruel universe.
ReplyDeleteAnymore I do the same as bryanp and always try to have a book with me, but it's sickening when I leave what I'm reading somewhere. Fortunately, I live close to one huge book emporium and one huge used book store, so if I have to run out and fetch a spare, well, so be it.
Damn! Now I'm hooked. And in the middle of another series too.
