I had intended to go up to NYC yesterday to see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center. However, when it's cold, as yesterday was, the city is particularly uninviting...it's kind of hard to take pictures and stuff when you can't feel your fingers (moving casualty #1: I cannot seem to find my gloves. So, the best way to find things one has misplaced is to buy replacements.)
I did manage to head to the library and tracked these down. Both new authors for me...
1) Ham on Rye - Charles Bukowski. This one came highly recommended as the book to read if I wanted to start with his work. Plus, I like sandwiches, so at least the title's won me over. I just broke into this yesterday, yet I can't quite yet ascertain what role, if any, ham and/or rye play. Stay tuned.
2) Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - Malcolm Gladwell. It's about how people make snap decisions. I've been intending on reading his stuff for a while, so here goes.
On another note, I was expecting and looking forward to snow. Where is it? Clouds, why dost thou withhold the snow?
