Blatant Bragging and Random Reading

 
Currently Reading
How to Fit a Car Seat on a Camel: And Other Misadventures Traveling with Kids

I thought How to Fit a Car Seat on a Camel was coming out May 1, but apparently it is already available.  I got my copy this week.

I'm story number one, on page one.  I was a bit excited (that's putting it mildly).

I also wrote for the Free Press this week.  Go read, go read :)
 
 
In book news, I had a bit of a reading spree this weekend.
 
I started with Andrew Morton's Unauthorized Tom Cruise Bio.  Fascinating stuff, especially the Scientology bit which comprises a huge portion of the book.  I would comment further but after reading this book it makes me more than a little paranoid to even mention it.  ;)
 
I followed this up with Bonk which made me howl with laughter (literally), in turn prompting people in my general vicinity to question what was so humorous.  Confessing that porcupine sex (I'll spare you the details and just in case you were wondering, was written about to showcase how scientists studied sex back in the day) was making me snort, was not the most pleasant of circumstances to find myself.  So have a plausible or at least more socially correct answer handy. 
 
And finally, The World Without Us, which I've been reading in spurts for like two months (possibly more).  It isn't really a bad book, I like the author's style and it's very interesting.  I love end of the world scenarios, and this is essentially about how the earth would pull itself back together if all of the humans were gone.  If you aren't green or partially green or figuring out how to be green, you will be after reading this book.

I've watched a few of the world without human type shows they have had on Discovery. While depressing,I loved how nature reclaimed everything.

Congrats on the publishing, I'll have to look around for the book.

I'm mildly interesting in reading the Morton book, but still not sure.

Weird question, how do you get your stuff in these books?
