Metaphorically, of course. In actuality I am rocking the Lemon Sugar perfume by Fresh. Anyhoo. My point is that I have not psoted in a while. I have no excuse and still have a problem being judgemental with people who post even more often than I do and yet still don't pot as much as I would like. My name is Ashley and I am a hypocrite.
Just because I haven't been posting doesn't mean I haven't been reading. In fact, it has been quite the fecund fall in the old biblio department. I started reading Confederacy of Dunces, but I have once again put it down because I could not get into it. Plus, I was most distracted by the many charms of trashy reading. Bleach-Haired Honky Bitch turned out to be only so-so. I like many parts of the book, but her need to add a moral to the end of every essay was a downer.
I also read the lovely Pamie Ribon's Why Girls Are Weird. It was pretty hysterical and I loved how she incorporated real stories and some autobiographical stuff into the fictional story. Then I moved onto Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer. I thought it was fascinating and that is all I am going to say about that. Yesterday I started and finished Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini. It is a young adult novel, but I found it pretty heavy for a lot of teenagers. Entertaining, though and a quick read. Once that was finished, I started Sarah Vowell's The Partly Cloudy Patriot. So far, it is very entertaining, but I will post more when I finish it...

PCP is a great book...too funny especially when you get to hear her (SV) talk on TAL every week or so you can actually hear her speaking it to you...strange but true you can also hear her on the INCDRDIBLES as the daughter Violet...i am a host of uselessinformation
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Totally agree with you about Bleachy Haired Honky Bitch. I was expecting more out of that book.
