Quality Book Time

Ya all are cracking me up with the fruit head references. My hair is in a pony tail right now in anticipation of getting on the treadmill later, so I'm a banana attached to a cantelope today. I discovered a few more pineapple heads at work earlier.

Angela and I started reading Angels and Demons last night. It's the book that Dan Brown wrote before The DaVinci Code, but everyone reads The DaVinci Code first. (Can't wait for the movie with Tom Hanks!) We read The DaVinci Code several months ago and now we're finally getting around to Angels and Demons. It's great so far. It starts out with the brutal murder of someone central to the story, which raises a million questions and opens the door for all sorts of mystery and suspense. That doesn't give too much away. The chapters are short and they always leave you hanging, so you're forced to read until the absolute last minute before you fall asleep. In my case, that happened at about 9:05pm. Poor Angela. I hope she didn't continue without me.

We take turns reading. We don't do that with everything -- we don't pass the newspaper or a Pottery Barn catalog back and forth -- but reading a book doubles as quality time when we share. If it's a good book that is. We tried reading Jane Eyre together and that was just a big whippin'.

I have to fix my wireless internet connection now. Things were fine last night and now my computer can't detect the network so I had to plug in the old fashioned way. Oh, how I hope I don't have to call the help line. Speaking of a big whippin...
