May. 16th, 2007 12:36 pmWow, where did my morning go?! I got the best reference question ever today, it was to find some "beach reads" lists for this summer, and I just spent way too long browsing around looking at book info (I never get to deal with fun books at work, though I've come to find some of the law books fun, in a sick "I like doing securities research" kind of way). And because I am a huge nerd, I am going to share with you some news that made me squeal with glee in my office and clap my hands: There is a new sequel to Gone With The Wind coming out!!!!.
Hooray! I read Gone With the Wind in 7th grade, and conveniently, the sequel "Scarlett" came out a year later. I loved, loved, loved those books so much. I used to re-read GWtW once a year until maybe my sophmore year of college. Seeing Galway in Ireland last fall fulfilled a years-long dream I've had of seeing that city, which started with reading Scarlett. This is totally the awesomest thing ever.
Speaking of summer reads, I've been on a big "summer music" kick lately. I need some new indie-pop! Any suggestions? I think I like things way more twee than anyone else I know, but jangly, Beach Boys-inspired pop confections are just made for the summer.
