Last night I finished reading my Library book, The Dirt On Clean. I did enjoy it very much for all its historical information. I find myself so curious about how people lived without all of our "modern day conveniences" and what life would have been like. Reading the book even gave me a better perspective while watching John Adams. While JA is in France, I imagined the gamut of smells that existed then -- perfume, powders, sweat, bad breath. Yowza. Of course, that is how everyone smelled, so it would have been "normal" for them all. As a time traveler, I would have to prepare myself not to be shocked...
I am still in line for the other two library books (Meatball Sundae and What Shamu Taught Me) and added a third today: Home: A Memoir of My Early Years by Julie Andrews. I love Julie Andrews. I remember when The Sound of Music would come on TV every year I would clear my schedule (okay, I was like 10, not a big calendar to clear) and plant myself in front of the tube. I look forward to reading this one very much!
What will I read while I wait? I've been through my latest Sunset Mag, Oprah and the weeklies. I have just received a new New Yorker, so I'll probably start that tonight. I'm going to Texas on Saturday, so I'll need a good easy read. Perhaps Stephen King's Cell...We'll see.
