The Murder on the Links

After taking such a long time to read the third installment of George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire ("A Storm of Swords"), I've managed to knock off a Agatha Christie novel in little less than a week. While most people, especially mystery lovers can fly through a Christie much quicker than that, one week is practically a miracle for me considering all the assigned reading I've had to do for the past two years.

I now think it's time for something futuristic, something science fiction, but something that doesn't require a lot of deep thinking just yet, since I have finals coming up in a few weeks. After that, I may even read an old 1980s pop romance ("Master of the Game"). Once the new year begins, then I'll pick up some classic literature I've always meant to read, but never have.

One other note:
This Thursday, I'll be doing an original poetry reading at the St. Charles Community College Coffeehouse from 7-9 p.m. You can look it up on the SCC Community College webpage, or drop me  a line for more info.

Until Next Time...
Linkly Yours,
