i've been on vacation since the beginning of july, which apparently means no thinking or writing. i have been reading though, so here's the lowdown:
book 31 of 60: one more thing by b.j. novak
date started: 7.3.14
date completed: around 7.12.14
thoughts:
i appreciated a lot of the stories in this book. they were humorous and literally made me laugh out loud, which is quite a feat.some stories were just ok, as is usually the case with a collection. all in all, i enjoyed this one.

book 32 of 60: the sea of monsters by rick riordan
date started: 7.13.14
date completed: around 7.15.14
thoughts:
not quite as fun as the first one, but they are quick, entertaining, and it's fun to guess who's who in the ancient greek world.

book 33 of 60: to kill a mockingbird by harper lee
date started: 7.16.14
date completed: around 7.21.14
thoughts:
this is another re-read. i have read this text every year since high school and intend on continuing to do so. there's something about july that just screams for TKAM--maybe it's the description of the heat in maycomb...maybe it's that this is an incredible piece of writing that yearns to be read wholly and all at once.

book 34 of 60: fahrenheit 451 by ray bradbury
date started: 7.23.14
date completed: around 7.25.14
thoughts:
this is another re-read. i have read this text every year since middle school and intend on continuing to do so. my love of bradbury is rather apparent to all who know me or read this blog regularly (i mean, i named my dog after a character in it!), so i needn't say a lot here other than this text is so rich that i find something new every time i read it. amazing.
probable next read: finishing the goldfinch by donna tartt (which might happen one day...we'll see...)
