kind of like when i spent a year in korea and read every book i'd wanted to read for a decade out of the base library, i'm reading a lot of stuff out of my sister's extensive library while i'm here. (they're all readers in her family, thank ceiling cat.) re-read mark haddon's the curious incident of the dog in the night-time the other day during my dad's naps, left joyce's the dubliners up there when we left to go eat dinner and got trapped at the house by flash flooding, and last night when i couldn't sleep, i picked up david sedaris' dress your family in corduroy and denim that my niece left behind when she went to college. her loss/my gain.
