I'd love to have time to read the latest book, but life always points me in another reading direction...

The Strange Library Review
So I finished this book by Haruki Murakami about a week ago. My first Murakami. Not the best first impression...but I am interested in more from this author-he is very popular after all. This story is about a boy that finds himself in a very strange library and tries to escape. It's a short read and a great short story to add to my goodreads.com challenge for this year. I just wanted more fantasy or more drama just something more for this story.

Closest thing to a real book post
So thinking about the past year, I did have some positive book experiences. Wee Man graciously signed a book a book he did not author (or was that last year???) I did get Chris Jericho to sign his book, "The Best In The World At What I Have No Idea at a book signing and R.A. Salvatore signed one of his books at a signing as well! Both of the authors/wrestlers/musicians etc were really nice and considerate. I really appreciate that. I can't even begin to guess how busy their schedules are and seeing these unreal people in real life just makes me happy.
I did for the first time visit the world famous city of Forks. Interesting place. Driving up there, I had no clue what to expect but if Twilight is what you are after then that is what you will get! I do recommend stopping by the visitor center as you enter town. There, any questions you may have can be answered and you are provided a map of the hotspots from book, like where the police station is and where the Cullens live. I ate at a great Mexican restaurant there too! I wish I could remember the name....I'll have to update later. But I enjoyed the trip. It is pretty cool visiting the place that is the inspiration for a really great series.
Well I hope you enjoy the pics. I will add more to this blog in the new year. Off to pass out from sipping my Jameson and watch a movie or two....
