In about ten minutes, I'm off to my sister's band practice, so I'll make this quick. I'm currently in my hometown--Lincoln, Nebraska--and I'm loving every minute of it. Seeing the family, seeing old friends. . . it makes for a pretty good vacation. And there's still almost two full weeks left!! I can't wait to see what the rest of the trip holds in store. So far, it's been interesting:
- 2 workouts
- mini golf with 2 ex-boyfriends
- 2 minutes of an outdoor concert before the rain came
- waiting almost 2 hours for them to declare the concert officially cancelled
A lot of twos. Interesting. Anyway--books I'm reading/have read so far this summer include the following:
- Dracula (Bram Stoker)
- My Antonia (Willa Cather)
- Their Eyes Were Watching God (Zora Neale Hurston)
- The Return of the Native (Thomas Hardy)
- The World of Christopher Marlowe (David Riggs)
- Sula (Toni Morrison)
- A Patchwork Planet (Anne Tyler)
- Prodigal Summer (Barbara Kingsolver)
- The Plot Against America (Philip ? Roth)
- Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (Jonathan Safran Foer)
- Everything Is Illuminated (Foer)
- something by Kate DiCamillo
There are other books on my list, but this has been a short sampling. So far, I've enjoyed everything!

I'm a tad bit jealous of your reading time, but happy for you nonetheless. :) In one week I will go to go on my two vacation! Yippie! How did you like Prodigal Summer?
I loved it--very circular and earthy. I thought that the emphasis on ecosystems was really interesting.
