maybe I'll be done before classes begin

As I often do during school breaks I have overwhelmed myself with books to read. Here's the current list:

The Dharma Bums
by Jack Kerouac
-so interesting, such a fascintating lifestyle, however I am not personally enamored with Buddhism as the author is (I relate much more to Taoism, see below).

The Architecture of Happiness
by Alain de Bottom
-love this author and am enjoying this book particularly because I just had an architecture class last semester

Tao Teh Ching
by Lao Tzu
-a mind expanding must read (do I sound like a cheesy boook review?)

Brokeback Mountain
by Annie Proulx
-haven't truly begun this one, but as it is a short story, I plan to finish it before school resumes

Smashed: the story of a drunken girlhood
by some author that drank and now doesn't (I think the book's in my car)
-gets a little preachy about how as the author is just so glad she doesn't drink now, let me tell you my theory about alcohol (and everything else): moderation

January Jane magazine
January Vogue magazine
December/January domino magazine
