As a follow-up to my previous post...

Yesterday, I tottered home late from work, weak and weary, having been at the office being overwhelmed until 6:30 when I finally said "forget this, that's enough for today". Trying to brace myself for facing part 2 of my lawn.

I get home, I drag myself inside, stepping into the door to the eating area and...stopping dead. Looking out the back sliding glass doors I see...a mowed lawn. A mowed BACK lawn. A mowed back lawn that swmbo did not MOW.

SOMEBODY MOWED MY LAWN.

It really DOES take a cul-de-sac to mow my lawn. Teamwork, kids, teamwork!!

(Research shows that it was actually mowed by BFF - to whom I had loaned my lawnmower the night before after I finished the front, so that she could mow her own lawn. Their mower is on the fritz. So she mowed my backyard by way of thanks. I kinda have the best BFF EVER.)

And all I can say is - thank god I didn't have to face it, because work is killing me by inches and yards. Fortunately there will be a May Day Float to cling to very, very shortly. Err, if 4 hours from now is very, very shortly.

Today I am MEMEing. I know. Crazy, right? But it was about books! I couldn't not do it!

Stolen from mpoetess because she has expressed what I so often felt about Tess of the D’Urbervilles - ie, how in the world could Thomas Hardy have made rape, murder and illegitimate children totally BORING blows my mind and makes me cry.

What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish.

*additional note from swmbo: 106 is a really weird number. Why not go with 100? or 105? Or 110. I know, I'm discriminating against unusual numbers. I know this. Bite me! Also, I added an additional thing to mine - I put an asterisk by the ones that I have on my actual, physical bookshelf at home because I really did plan to read them at one time and probably still do but I never reach for them when I get that 'ack, what should I read now?' feeling.

( Cut for your sanity - a LONG list of books. )

Also! Today's LuthorCorp Thought for the Day: Changing one’s mind is not a sin. It is a way of saying that I’m wiser today than I was yesterday.

Bolded cause I read it. Hah!

Happy May Day, kids! I leave a basket of flowers on your LJ !
