Reading Material

I'm working my way through a number of books just presently, and have spent the evening reading bits and pieces of all of them, with plans to continue reading, comfortably curled up in bed as soon as I'm done posting.

1. The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Loving this one in much the same way I love the movie, though it is decidedly slower and less strikingly profound than the movie.
2. The Alphabet of Grace by Frederick Buechner. Haven't made it very far in, but am liking what I've read so far. I've liked what I've read by Buechner in the past, and some of my favorite authors quote him quite regularly, so I thought I'd check him out myself.
3. The Book of Longing by Leonard Cohen. I confess to mostly skim reading this one. Poetry is always more difficult for me to read, and this is full of rather strongly erotic poetry that I'm skipping quite liberally. However, there are a few gems in there too!

There are others waiting in the wings, partially read, some skimmed, and ready for in depth persusal. Can I just say that I love books, and that I'm grateful for close proximity to a good library. All three of the above are library books. Which is decidedly easier on my pocketbook than purchasing!
