If I were a professor, I'd be an absent-minded one. The weekend before last, I left All Quiet on the Western Front at my sister's house, and then last weekend, I left The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter at my friend's house down in DC! Argh. This annoys me much more because I'm farther along in the book and really want to finish it. This is a sure sign that I'm either losing my mind, or I'm traveling too much. Or both, I suppose.

Anyhow, I have another new trick that I'd like to practice, and that is including an image in my journal entry. This is the best picture of an Adirondack guideboat that I've found, very much like the one that Sheila loves so much in my novel. I want to put the picture here so I can refer back to it and remember where to find it. And also to test whether or not I know how to do this...

You know... that's a really pretty boat!

Sorry to hear of your recent book loses. There's nothing worse than misplacing a treasured work. Are you far enough along to just finish it up in a nice Barnes and Nobles one night?

It's interesting hearing your interpretation of this book. I had to read it in high school, but I loathed it. However, I have found that many of the authors I detested in high school are the ones I adore now. I think a lot of my bias was based on my teachers. Maybe I'll give it another try.

Glad you like the boat. I thought it was pretty enough to make into a userpic, and maybe someday when I've got a couple thousand extra dollars laying around I'll own one.

The good news is that I found The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. For reasons unknown to me, my girlfriend put it in her backpack and didn't tell me that for a couple days.

Interesting that you hated The Heart Is.... My sister told me that she couldn't even get through it, and I can definitely see how it wouldn't be to everybody's taste. I'm really enjoying it, so I'd recommend a reread, but it might just not be your style.
