Weekly Geek Week SEVEN

Wow, we’ve been at this seven weeks now, already.     The theme is PHOTOS and so I snapped a few for you.

First, is the most obvious to me what I do that combines books and blogging so I took a shot at my PC with this blog on the screen and to show what I’m reading right now.   Yes, I’m still working on the Einstein bio but I also treated myself to a few books while I ran errands on Saturday.   Besides Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, I bought John Knowles’ A Separate Peace for my personal challenge to read some of Chartroose’s favorites.

So, maybe I really CAN read two books at the same time!   Honestly, I expect to get the Ishiguro book done today.     In the pic, you will also see my reading glasses which I hate needing but I do.  

The second photo is where I spent a few hours yesterday reading this book and where I will go to read some more as soon as I post this.    The last photo is the view of my backyard from the chair I will be sitting in.   I’ll be drinking some sun-tea, no sugar.   It’s very hot today in Massachusetts, a stifling humid hot, in the low 90s (I hope it’s LOW!   They may be expecting the record to be broken today or tomorrow.)   I try not to complain about the weather.     It’s not like I don’t have central air to escape into if I want.

I’ll be back after I visit the official Weekly Geek site to add some links to other geek blogs.    The whole POINT of all this, is to make some more book-geek-friends, ya know.

OK.  I’m back.   I visited a few sites that already had tons of comments so I kept looking.   and I’m not done!  I’m sure I’ll be back to many before the week is out.

Go to Book Addict for Life and count all the ways this blogger is into books!

Biblio Brat has a terrific rating system explanation at the top of the blog.

    Ahh, thanks, Care! Knowing my batting-record lately, you’ll probably hate “A Separate Peace” and never speak to me again! Jeez, it’s gorgeous where you live!

    Oh, I wish I’ve a backyard so I can enjoy the sun, a glass of ice tea and a book! ;)

    Yep, we’ve got that same hot & humid weather here in NJ – in fact, my daughter’s school will only be running a half day schedule tomorrow since they don’t have air conditioning. Thank God we have it at home!

    @Char – I am intrigued 2 pages in of ASP but it does seem a bit wordy. Not horribly so.

    @Melody – Yes, the yard is actually quite nice and I hope to get more perennials to give it some color. Thx for stopping by.

    @Stephanie – the schools here are keeping the kids and making them suffer. And to top it off, then they cancel the field trips cuz it’s too hot. Which I suppose an hour on a hot bus would be yucky. But the trips are oceanside – wouldn’t it be a tad cooler there? Maybe they are afraid the kids will bolt and dive in rather than enjoy whatever critter lecture is going on?!

    A wonderful reading haven, and an admirably organized desk. Maybe we can do a little weather averaging so we can all read outdoors. It’s been raining and in the 50s for more than a week here in Seattle. I don’t want it to be 97 and humid, but maybe you could send a little blue sky my way? :)

    If I had such a great backyard, I think I could even brave the high temps and humidity! What a great place to sit and read.

    HI Joy! Oh, I do brave and sweat thru the high temps and humidititty; it’s nice. Thank you!
