vocational trades

I don't read that often. I know, I KNOW, I was an English major. I should just devour books. I should talk only of the great poets and critical theories. But I like television.

I do, however, every once in a while find a book that I literally can't put down. I ignore everything else in life. It's happened a few times in the last year, with The Help and Elna Baker's book, the title of which I can never remember. I'm like one of those people who never eats sweets except on special occasions and ends up eating the entire birthday cake.

This is my latest binge:

I bought Bossypants Saturday afternoon and completed the book Saturday night. I also just ate an entire Cafe Rio salad, so obviously moderation is a principle I have yet to master. I love Tina Fey. I loved this book. There is some reason-king's-speech-was-rated-R type language (and then some), so this is not a recommendation. Just an admission that I have problems with pacing and should probably get professional help.
