Rainy Day Reading

Here's what my weather forecast is looking like this week:

But the rain isn't keep everyone off the streets. I saw this young boy waiting to cross the street while I was driving home from work. Sorry for the fuzzy picture - there were a ton of raindrops on my window preventing a clear shot.
Marin will probably stay in the garage until it gets sunny again. I'll admit I'm a fair weather bicyclist. Without a chain guard I worry about rust and my brakes always squeal for several days after getting wet. Does anyone else have this problem or is there just something wrong with my bike? Plus I don't like the rain in my eyes and the coldness involved.

So instead of going out for a bike ride I will stay in and read. Currently, I'm on this:

I'm liking it so far, but the episodic nature of it makes it hard to really get into one of those reading time warps. You know when you sit down to read and the book is so interesting you want to forego any other commitments and simply read all day and then suddenly 4 hours have passed and you missed lunch? Not happening with this. But that's not necessarily bad. It's a great book to read during breakfast or lunch when you only have a set amount of time before you have to leave for work or go run errands.


Since I'm a big reader and everyone who knows me is aware of this, I often get bookmarks for gifts or seek them out myself. My mom got me this one this past summer on a trip to Cape Cod. I love the boat. Once I finish this book I'll probably take another bookmark out of my collection. I have to be fair to them, after all.

To those staying in, happy reading!
