I stupidly joined a committee. I am now realizing that there is a reason I don�t join committees. The reason is, committees suck. They have weekly meetings and deadlines, and there is neither financial reward nor course credit to be gained from them.
Lesson learned.

Books I�m reading right now/have recently finished:
YA selections:
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, by Dyan Sheldon
Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli
Holes, by Louis Sachar*
For grownups:
The Elegant Universe, by Brian Greene*
Superstring theory. I don�t completely understand it, but I understand it enough to get that the universe is a pretty interesting place.
Lonely Planet Guide to Chicago
A birthday present. Liking the looks of it.
The Professor and the Madman, by Simon Winchester
You know, that book about the Oxford English Dictionary that came out a few years ago. Much fun for word geeks, plus: Murder! Insanity! Self-mutilation! Ah, good times.
Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino*
Marco Polo chats with Kubla Khan.
An Imaginary Life, by David Malouf**
The Roman poet Ovid, who Shakespeare really got into fifteen centuries later, was actually exiled to a �barbarian� villiage for being too racy for the late Roman Empire. This novel is about what that might have been like for him. You should read it.
*Highly recommended.
