Entry: "Home Alone"

Andrew is down in Virginia and my family is out of town so I have had a quiet solitary day of puttering, eating leftovers, updating my book page, writing email and reading.

I finished the Alexander McCall Smith advance copy, The Full Cupboard of Life, enjoyed it very very much as I knew I would, and then launched into several other things at once. I started by beginning Baudolino again... very witty and... mmm... original. :) Maybe I'll be able to describe it when I get further in. And then I read the first 80ish pages of Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling which is wonderful. I hadn't read any nonfiction in a while and I was starting to feel a bit guilty... because i'm neurotic. I hate to feel like I'm reading all the same sort of thing all the time. And then when I'd had enough of Italy for the day I read about half of Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson, which is what I really wanted to be reading the whole time but felt the need to warm up for it. I guess.

I get a bit strange when I spend whole days by myself in my apartment...
