What's in store....

We're getting a new yarn store in town! Our only LYS closed this year when the owner retired, and I just heard that a new store is opening up soon! It will be in the downtown area, and called "One Row at a Time". I can't wait to see it. Hopefully they will have a knit-nite so I can happily leave my current knitting group (which has a very annoying child that will not. stay. home.)

Happy weekend! Unfortunately for me, I'm cleaning the garage all weekend.
We had to rent a dumpster.
It's that bad.

One bad book

So, a few months ago I was reading Pink is the New Blog, and in a post he mentions a book that is his absolute favorite book. The best horror book he's ever read. Well, that piqued my interest, as I am a huge Stephen King and Dean Koontz fan, so I went to Amazon and ordered House of Leaves to see what all the fuss was about.

I wish I knew.

It took me forever to get through half of the book (and I'm a fast reader), and I finally just gave up. The main story about the "haunted" house was awesome, but the little side-stories and useless information in the margins and footers were a complete waste of time. I kept reading, hoping it would get better, but it didn't.

I would be interested to know how many people that read PITNB rushed out and bought this book, and how many of them liked it.

That's all. Just wanted to vent!
