Compared to last week, anyway. Oh, well, I'm still above the requirement, so I'm all right with that.
The reading goes like this...
Dead Until Dark - Charlaine Harris (279 pages)
Living Dead in Dallas - Charlaine Harris (291 pages)
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim - David Sedaris (56 pages)
Book of Useless Information (286 pages)
_____________________________________________
For a grand weekly total of... 912 pages.
Last week's total: 1369 pages.
The true grand total of all grand totals: 5041 pages.
Quotations of the Week:
1) This was pretty exotic stuff for a telepathic barmaid from northern Louisiana. - Dead Until Dark
This line ended up as my favorite simply because it made me laugh. Laughter is the best medicine and I was having a really bad day when I read this. (:
2) I knew I was supposed to be happy, but part of me felt personally assaulted. Like he'd been a negligent prince, yet I still believed in the monarchy. - Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
I loved the metaphor here, it came together perfectly considering the plotline so far and making good connections is something I strive to do both in everyday thoughts and in my own writing. Therefore, I appreciate good figurative language when I see it, especially imagery and metaphor. This one basically popped off the page at me.
3) [the last fact in the book] About 97 percent of all statistics are made up. - The Book of Useless Information
I stared at the page for a minute and said aloud, "Well, great. Thanks a lot." And then I laughed once more. x)
