Hiatus 2

It finally happened. Our septuagenarian neighbor decided to block access to his wi-fi and that left us without internet. For me to write this I have to walk a mile to the nearest Starbucks and I don’t think I can do this every day. So I might hibernate for a week or two until Cox install our own line.

Well I am somehow thankful because I can devout more time to my reading. I am way behind schedules and books are continually piling up in our room like abandoned logs. Just last week alone, in addition to the books I purchased online, we had procured, in a manner resembling couples going to panic buying, 30 books from three libraries in Orange County. The best deal so far that I got is the 6.50 dollars I paid for 8 good-as-new books and 2 cds. I really regret buying books online….

So what have I been reading lately? Well I’m done reading Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, which is truly a moving story of father and son’s journey in a post-apocalyptic America. I also started three books, reading the first 30 pages of each then repeating the cycle. I particularly enjoy the witty musing of Douglas Coupland in his Life After God and Ian McEwan’s Atonement and Saturday. How can a generation raised without God find meaning in everyday life? This is basically the theme of Life after God. Subtly religious and brutally honest.
