i might be a geek
i'm reading a book about tolkien's writing ("Splintered Light: Logos and Language in Tolkien's World," by Verlyn Flieger), which i'm very much enjoying, but requires a bit of thought, as it's examining some deeper themes in his works. this poses a problem, however, in that if i want to read something deep, i can't do it at work because of the constant interruptions. i have to have something different to read at work then. so what did i pick for my light reading? a 1,260-page nineteenth century french classic on social (and spiritual) justice. go me.

Might be?? I thought that was already firmly established. But I wish I were a bit more geeky like you are and read (and wanted to read;) those kinds of books. You remind me of Hermione that way. :) So what's the title of your "light reading"?
only my favorite book ever ("les miserables," for those of you who may not know). but i'm picking up at page 998 cuz that's where i left off last time.
you are a geek.
and yes, i'm trying to catch up on my comments.
you're doing an excellent job. i'm quite impressed. :)
