Book Addict

Moving to London for three months (during the bulky-clothing winter months, no less), forced me to set some serious packing priorities. Mistakes were made. I packed four pairs of shoes but no flip-flops (this needs to be remedied before my four day Italian excursion, since I have acute germaphobia and refuse to use any hotel shower — no matter how clean or fancy — in bare feet).

I also somehow thought I was going to survive the trip with only two books: No Logo and Middlesex. This was vastly misguided. I only managed to last a grand total of five days before I caved and bought How to Lose Friends and Alienate People and the new Bill Bryson. Those complete, I have now dropped all pretense of controlling myself and just went on a book-buying binge on Amazon.co.uk. By the time I move back to S.F., I'll need an entire suitcase for my new library.
