No time for 'puter stuff for now. At least no energy for it, my poor laptop even looks at me like I am crazy. It isn't like I have to really move or anything, but to be honest, being away from (when I say 'away' i mean like two feet) my computers is kinda nice. I have stopped thinking in zeros and ones and have re-acquainted myself with the world of words on paper. I have been in bed for several days now,not doing too well and battling a virus. This experience is allowing me time to do quite a bit of reading. I am onto my second book, The Concubine's Children. I just finished Life of Pi, a beautifully written tale about an Indian boy adrift at sea with a Bengal Tiger. It may sound a bit outrageous, but it brought tears of sadness and tears of joy and left me with many interesting dreams. It is one of those stories you really don't want to end. One of the books tag lines , also quoted in the story itself, suggests that the story.."will make you believe in God." Not in my case, but it certainly gives you new perspectives on religion. There is a great deal of non-biased discussion regarding Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. I highly recommend it. Inbetween the books and CSI, I have been taking in what the last several weeks worth of New Yorkers has to offer, some good fiction and lots of ring-winged rhetoric.
