tagged...
Lara tagged me!
Rules:
Once tagged, you must link to the person who tagged you. Then post the rules before your list, and list 8 random things about yourself. At the end of the post, you must tag and link to 8 other people, visit their sites, and leave a comment letting them know they’ve been tagged.
8 things? Hmmm...
1. I am boggled when I meet people that don't drive. I mean, how?! Why?! I don't love traffic but I love to drive.
2. I have a crazy fear of riding in cars that other people are driving. Seriously, I get so anxious that *this is it.. this is how I will die!*... knitting helps this a bit. Hello, I am crazy.
3. When I find books that are good, or even mostly good, I go and read every other book that author has written. A couple years ago it was Murakami, then T.C. Boyle, then now it's John Updike. John Updike is a little creepy. Actually, all of them are creepy. I do read better stuff, I swear.
4. I have also been doing this with a German author - Dorris Doerrie. The books are harder to get though, unless I want to pay shipping from Germany. These are the girliest books I've ever read, and I think my husband's friend made fun of me when I made him bring me one from Germany last time.
5. I lived in Germany for 6 months, working at an engineering firm after I graduated college. I had no tv, so I read a lot. And also made friends with an American working for the army in Heidelberg. This was totally lame of me - but they had cheap(er) groceries at the PX on base.
6. I should have obtained a German degree from this, but I was pretty disillusioned, and didn't turn in my journal or the paper I wrote, so didn't get the degree. To this day, not a single person from the German department questioned it.
7. My clarinet teacher in middle school and high school hated that I only read crap like Stephen King and made me read several "literature" sorts of books. He would be happy to know that I read proper books now!
8. My yarn stash (including what is for sale and ready to dye) is smaller than many people's I've seen online. My husband should feel lucky, but I don't think he does! ;)
I am not really so literate as this makes me look.. but I love to read. Ask me what happened in a book a month later, though, or what it means, and I will draw a blank! I sucked at high school english! ;)
So.. I tag: Amy, K8, Acornbuds, Javajem, Laura, and... aw heck, I think everyone else has already done this silly post!

Have you read anything by John Irving? I LOVE him! I'm like you when I like an author - I read everything they have written. I highly recommend John Irving - especially a Prayer for Owen Meaney - my fav of his books. And Just an FYI - Irving's a little weird too :)
