I am a Major Book Junkie

...also known as so many books, so little time!

I got a little overzealous at the bookstore and library, and now I have a small tower of books on my bedside table that I desperately want to rip into, but I have learned the hard way that I have a difficult time reading multiple books at the same time.

I think this was something I learned in college when at any given time I was reading 4 to 5 different texts for my classes as well as trying to read my own leisure book. Needless to say, I got a little confused.

If you are interested, this is what is on my nightstand:

I am a couple hundred pages into this book. I haven't been totally swept up into the story yet, but I feel like this is one of those books that is totally going to blindside me with some crazy imaginative twists.

I am taking a quick break from it as I am currently devouring:

David Cullen's "Columbine" is a riveting, meticulously researched account of the shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. I remember when this happened, but I also remember all the initial accounts and theories of what happened inside the school and what led these two students to murder their fellow classmates. A lot of the information we first heard regarding this incident was false. David Cullen's well-researched book is eye-opening. It is by no means an easy read, but it's definitely worth trying.

I saw this at the library and had to pick it up. It makes me think of the German Fairy Tales class I took at Lewis & Clark College.

Maybe with a little inspiration I'll get the spark to write something that goes further than just posting on the blog.

I haven't read any Lamott yet, and this one sounds like a doozy.

I've been thinking a lot of about how and what I eat, and I have even considered the possibility of going vegan over time. Before I make any major changes to my lifestyle, I figured I would do some more research. I have only heard good things about Nestle's hefty book. I'll let you know what I think.
