I finished two books over the weekend but neither one was my official #2. I figure that's ok though since generally that's how I'll read. I will have bookmarks in at least two books and the one I end up reading depends on the time and situation.
#2 was Writers on Writing: Collected Essays from The New York Times. I had picked this up at least a year ago, started it but never finished. We were moving some boxes around earlier in the week and found one with a few more books inside which just made The Wife extremely happy. Yes, that was sarcasm.
At any rate, I started the book over and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm always a sucker to reader writers talking about writing. Sometimes I think I do this so I don't actually have to face the fact that I'm not writing even though it's something I feel the need to do. The book is a collection of essays written by various authors about pretty much whatever they felt like. Some very interesting stories and ideas.
#3 was The Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby. After reading this interview in the LA Weekly, I decided I would pick it up next chance I had. The next chance was Saturday afternoon and I finished the book last night. It's not a big book but one that I liked.
