and i wore my james dean shirt too.

today i went into some serious retail therapy...
at the public library book sale.
heres the Julie Book Review for now...
cheers.

For my atheistic ways... i'm doing some research in why i should (or shouldnt) be an atheist:
- "Ruining it for Everybody" a memoir that says in bold on its back cover "whenever i hear the word, spiritual, i reach for my revolver."
and
-C.S. Lewis's "Surprised by Joy" (he wrote the narnia books, and a bunch more stuff) wich is about why he went from being a christian to an atheist back to christianity... the madness behind the reasoning.

for my other reading pleasures, i bought...
-"Modern English: a trendy slang dictionary" wich i couldnt resit for 50cents... it has a picture on the front of a girl with hancuffs in her pocket, and there are a bunch of arrows with explaining things. the hancuffs are titled "kinky sexual habits". the book is purple.
-"Crossing California" a novel about comming of age jewish in chicago in the 70s. sounds funny. its like 400 pages and has a glossary in the back of jewish references. yeah.
-"Great Photographic Essays from LIFE (magazine)" its big and shiny with a silver cover and was only $4. LIFE is good.
and
-"Norman Rockwell, a 60 year retrospective", because who doesnt love that guy?

so thats basically it...
well actually i got a lot more too, but i wont bother to tell you anymore. your probably bored shitless any way.

update on another new book i'm halfway thru...
"The Best of Everything".
is so good. a novel about being a new york city working girl in the 1950s. sounds boring but is really very interesting. deals with marriage ideas and ideals, sexual harrasment, everything.
yes, i am a certified freak, but you love me anyway.
i know you do.

so after book buying i hung out and read on a bench for about 4 hours.
then me and mom went to brentwood for chineese take out and it was great.
