Blood, Kafka and some Rivers

Finally over the end of semester blues. In the end of August, I'll have been in Chicago for two years, and just one for how long I've lived in my apartment. Not to be hoagy, but time does go by a lot faster when you're not waiting for it. 

This week I'm left applying for jobs (I know--I should have been more proactive about it) and filling out cover letters for internships, as well. I have the entire week to do that, fit in some interviews and slip in some time to hang out with friends. I'm going to spend time this morning completely glued to my laptop. Since I've gotten my own office space, I find myself working more and more. Which, I feel pretty good about.

Here are some books I've got on ye-olde summer list. I'm currently breezing through Blood Meridian, which kind of makes me want to drop everything in Chicago and move out west with a few hundred in my back pocket, buy a beat up old mule and ride through the desert. But you know, that's not going to happen.  If anyone has any reading suggestions, please feel free to leave any. I'm open to anything.
