Not sure if multitasking is the greatest thing for a writer to do, it is like self-inflicted ADD.
randomness about writing, reading, movies, music, art, ninjawriting and anything that I find inspirational or quirky

Reading: Alison Goodman and W.E.B. Du Bois
So, more randomness.
I love randomness, in case you could not tell. I am currently reading multiple
books, do you do that? People always look at me funny when I carry around a
stack of two or three books but I like the variety. Here is what I am currently reading:
Eon by Alison
Goodman
The Souls of Black
Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois
I have always had a terrible memory where history is
concerned, we’re talking absolutely abysmal.
However, even though there was only about a one-paragraph
inconsequential blurb in my history book many years ago, I have always
remembered the name W.E.B. Du Bois.
Probably because it is a cool name (and yes I am aware that I just wrote
an incomplete sentence. I call it artistic expression). Imagine my delight when I was walking through
Barnes and Noble on a quest for the next awesome book, when I ran into this
book on display. I have not even technically started the book, because
truthfully, the book includes a timeline of sorts which has me astounded. If I can accomplish a tenth of what W.E.B. Du
Bois did in his lifetime, I will be doing great. Obviously I would not try to
accomplish the same things, but I am talking about quantity. What an amazing individual! This promises to
be an interesting read.
I hope to be able to review both books over the next few
weeks in addition to my typical, random, sporadic posts. And on a final
side-note, I’m pretty sure the horrible coffee creamer at work has hijacked my
taste buds because my orange tasted like soap. Ew. With that last thought I wish you happy
reading, writing and pwning!
