Books Books Books

I'm really bad at coming up with clever titles for my blog posts. Maybe it's because I write the title before the post and that doesn't make sense since I often go off on random tangents. I've been known as the picture caption queen, but I think I need to give up that title as my camera never really sees daylight these days. Must take more pictures!

So I've been reading a couple books - Freakonomics and Playing House: A Starter Guide to Being a Grown Up.


Freakonomics is exciting ... I'm reading it for a book club. I love the theories these guys come up with - can't wait to discuss it. Unfortunately, I have no memory so I have to take notes after reading each chapter. But oh how modern my world has become - I used to take notes on paper and now I take them on a blog (not this one, my other book review blog).







Playing House is fun - I'm absolutely not a grown up even though I will have a mid-20-life crisis later this month. I really don't cook or clean well or host parties or any of that other grownup stuff. So this book has been helpful - I learned the difference between nonstick and regular pans and more importantly, when to use each one. And now that I think about it I can't even remember when to use either. Maybe I should take notes while reading that one too. Geez .. I need those memory pills/vitamins.

I'm dying to read Freakonomics, but I'm weird - I refuse to read hardback books. So, I'm just waiting waiting waiting until it comes out in paperback. It's so strange, but it's me.

And P.S. - it's really weird, but Ani is Indian, married to a Sikh, from CT, now living in CA. I think you two have a lot in common!

Hey roonie, thanks for stopping by =) Haha, I've never heard of someone not reading a hardcover. For your sake, I hope paperback comes out soon!

I just read Ani's blog and I already found tons of similarities .. thanks!
