My reading habits
Ever since Jon teased me about my airport reading habits, I've been a little touchy about it.

Let me explain. He is obsessed with the new Rufus Wainwright CD. I commented that the cover art looked like a trashy fantasy novel.

He expanded that it looked like one of those trashy fantasy novels that I buy in airports.

Harumph. Usually I buy mystery novels, but yes, sometimes I buy vampire novels or Arthurian romances. I'm usually pretty good about judging how long I will be at the airport or on the plane and finish them in time to leave them behind for the next bored traveler. Consequently there are very few of these books in my house. At least relative to the number I've actually read.

This weekend, conscious of Jon's scorn, I purchased the new Sue Grafton mystery, Q Is for Quarry, assuming I'd finish it.

Unfortunately I got sucked into a conversation with my seatmate (who was photoshopping the cigarette out of his hand in a picture of him with his harley as we spoke) and arrived in Chicago with 100 pages left.

What with work, class, baseball and mail, I haven't had time to finish. which is sad.

I should add that Jon's teasing about my reading habits is entirely justified. and I don't really mind it.
