What I'm Reading Wednesday

Thanks to my lovely new Kindle ( the most useful going-away present ever ), I've actually managed to still get in a good bit of reading for pleasure, despite the reading required for my grad school modules.  Fortunately,  I only have class a couple of days a week but let's just say Kafka is my "light" reading for the week...That being said, my selections for reading in my downtime have been less than strenuous as of late.  Cue essay humorist Celia Rivenbark...



Is it just me or is anyone else a sucker for Southern humor??? These books are in no way to be considered "quality literature," but if you're looking for a quick read (as in, only a day or two to finish) and a few chuckles, definitely check these out! Each book is a collection of short essays: some on her admittedly lazy yet newly chic approach to parenting, others display her arsenal of witty repartees when forced to communicate with those from above the Mason-Dixon line.  I'm hoping I'll have time soon to pick up her You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl : Observations from the Shallow End of the Pool.  As always, Happy Reading!

Cheers, Brooke
