Book List/Library Haul

Yes, I'm entitling this list as a 'Library Haul'. No, you are not allowed to cough 'nerd alert' under your breath.

I rarely get to visit the library, but they hold such a endless magic for me.
I love the rows and rows and rows of knowledge at my fingertips.
You can practically become an expert on anything and everything you might be slightly interested in.

So, with a prospective five days with no school ahead of me, I hit the stacks on stacks on stacks (of books).

Here's what I collected:

1) 100 Journeys for the spirit // Michael Ondaatje

2) Andy Warhol // Arthur C. Danto

3) Conversations with God // Neale Donald Walsch ( I heard this was more spiritual than religious)

4) Gluten-Free Cooking For Dummies // Danna Korn and Connie Sarros

5) Secret Societies // John Lawrence Reynolds

6) Teen Feng Shui // Susan Levitt

7) Oh My Gods - A modern retelling of Greek and Roman myths // Philip Freeman

8) The Mediterrasian Way // Ric Watson and Trudy Thelander


Thus far, I've only started Gluten-Free Cooking for Dummies book, which has so far proved to be a witty, to-the-point, perhaps a bit extreme overview of knowledge on gluten itself and a lifestyle without it. 
I'll update this post with short review sentences on each as I get into them.

Hope your Turkey Day was a good one! See you back to the grindstone tomorrow!

Michigan Dunes (sonnet)


Long grasses sift with heavy sand footsteps
Pink glow of the sky like a baby's cheeks
Hum softly lovers without love like me
"abortive mothers, we hate each other"
The shadow couple sit high and mighty
Lovers without love like me absent dreams
Mister hides his face, twinkle, she comes out
To play. Bright adjusted, stare and wonder
Real prescence, fake thoughts
    Makes no time for strain
Together we stand, freed in the sand time
Joy is the name of the game, if you miss
