We're subletting our apartment from some real brains (not surprising because one is a professor at Columbia and the other is a lawyer). They don't have cable, but they do have hundreds of books around the place and I am embarrassed to say that I recognized only two titles on the bookshelves - the Runaway (which was probably due to its placement on the front table of a Barnes and Noble I wandered into at some point in time) and The Great Gatsby (which I haven't read). So as we were watching some awful show on network TV like animals the other night (oh, I miss our DVR), I decided that I need to detox from TV and read more "real" books - so I am going to at least read these two books over the summer, starting with the latter.
On a somewhat related note, I read in Women's Wear Daily (more my speed for reading material) that they are making The Great Gatsby into a movie so the timing is perfect!
In the meantime, if anyone is in need of a book to read over the summer and are in the NYC area, let us know because we are living in a library.
P.S. Hope everyone is staying cool. There is a promised reprieve from the heat for us over the next few days which is a good thing because Olin and I literally
pretended to shop in our corner market today so that we could enjoy the AC - we are pretty pathetic around here!
