My god. I was the insanely lucky recipient of three fantastic books this blessed day. If you check the title of this blog, you’ll see that I dare call it "The Reviewer’s Nook;" so technically, it goes to follow that I love it when people give me books. Any books at all. Seriously.

Here are the books that I got today:

1. Thomas Pynchon’s Against the Day. Thomas Pynchon was a master American fictionist, and I am very very glad to announce that I am now a proud owner of two of his novels.

2. Jean-Dominique Bauby’s The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This book was written by a stroke victim who could  only turn his head by ninety degrees and blink his left eye.

3. Jim Butcher’s Grave Peril. The third book in the Dresden Files.

If only I didn’t have so many books waiting to be read, I’d get started on one of these right away. As it is, I have around . . . five? Six? books queued.

Sigh.
