I've never been one for Dancing, and tend to have all the moves of the drunk uncle at a family wedding. Which may explain the reason I so easily lost the rhythm of blogging. Look at this shabbiness, a whole month without an update.
Well first one back should be about books. Presently I am reading A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. The Updated American addition with the previously 'missing' Chapter. I nice 1988 paperback copy. Love holding a paperback that is old enough to drink a beer with me. The book starts out with an introduction by Burgess entitled, "A Clockwork Orange Resucked", which touches on his recollection of the reason for the 21st Chapter never made it into the original American edition. This is promptly followed by the publishers rebuttal. There is always something so juicy about public literary feuds... even when they don't relate to Oranges.
*This book was purchased at a local Charitable Book sale, on the $1.50 paperback table. I love cheap paperbacks. The Local Shopping Challenge continues!!*
Speaking of Cheap paperbacks, I've got to bring to your attention ABC Book and Comic Emporium. If you haven't been here... go here. If you like Paperback books... go here. If don't want to go here, and you don't like paperback books... well, you might have some issues you may want to deal with. I am not judging, just saying is all.
