Update

Well it doesn't appear that I will meet by deadline for finishing The Brothers Karamazov by tomorrow. Still got about 150 pages left. Maybe by end of weekend. Doesn't matter tomorrow after work I make a trip to the Barnes and Noble at Bridgestreet to pick up the next book on the list Ignorance by Milan Kundera as chosen by Sarah. Its not by go to B&N but it says online that they have it and Jones Valley does not. It will give me an opportunity to stop in and get a slice at Tommy's Pizza though so thats an plus. Wow! Does Keith ever have raucous Friday nights?

Filler

Okay, The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Doestoyevsky is slowing me down considerably. I guess its all about the luck of the draw because June through July I was on a break-neck clip and was thinking I'd possibly have the list chopped down to 950 by year end. But these last few books have changed that, now I'm hoping to be at 960 by year's end. I'm almost halfway through TBK. I'm setting a fairly ambitious EFD (Estimated Finish Date) of October 1.

I guess I could announce that the book waiting on deck is Ignorance by Milan Kundera. This book was selected by a dear old friend, Sarah Shelton (Ok don't give me that look.)

On a book-related front, it often bothers me how much fast food I eat. I work kinda weird hours so its not always conveniant to cook. Add into that the fact that I cannot cook. My house may have gremlins because honestly I can't even get popcorn right anymore. So basically if I don't eat fast food I usually cook a frozen pizza or something else frozen, which is just as bad as the fast food. Anyway I did a Google search for "Dinner for One" thinking surely they'd be something alas no. Then I looked for cookbooks on Barnes and Noble and theres actually a couple but its ridiculous stuff like foie gras.

I really should be a television executive. Why doesn't Food Network have a show called "Dinner for One." I mean I can't be the only person with a toxic personality. We shouldn't be forced to either 1)waste food, 2) eat the leftovers for a week, or 3) Eat a box of salt with an alleged piece of frozen chicken. Also, I'd make an American version of Top Gear and most importantly I'd do it right. NBC actually had a version in development and its currently in The History Channel's hands. But it won't be as good because they won't want to piss off potential advertisers. Which I really didn't think of until I read about it my personal flaw in an American Top Gear would be the celebrity portion I just don't think American celebs would be as good. I'm hereby throwing my hat in as a presenter. Now I'm not especially a "car guy" but I'm not asking to be the lead presenter (Jeremy Clarkson) but I can serve in the Richard Hammond role.

Done-diddly-done

Wow! Finally finished with Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe! I never knew that the matriach of the Flanders family had such an eventful life. Unfortunately, the book read as if Ned Flanders wrote it. I mean I wasn't expecting porn but dang it was kinda dull. The book was divided into two sections. The first described her five marriages. The second detailed her life as thief. The crazy thing is that the second part was by far more interesting. Also the e-book experiment will probably need to be put on hiatus until I actually buy the Nook proper because turning the page 3-4 times to actually read a full page is just too annoying.

Okay, onward and upward. Next on the list is The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I've previously read Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky and it seemed to take forever and I was quite confused. I did read a bit of the introduction and so this time I understand the Russian naming protocol. For instance my name would be Keith Haroldovitch Adams and I would be formally addressed as Keith Haroldovitch.

Difficult this is!

I'm having some serious problems with the e-reader app. I'm reading Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe and I'm making practically no progress. This is a true story. Really would I make something like this up.

Keith Adams: I hate this Nook app for the Droid. What who is this?



Keith: Master Yoda!
Yoda: Yes, young one. Hearing you very disturbed I am.
Keith: But master I'm constantly flipping pages and it doesn't seem like I'm making any progress.
Yoda: Matter it does not. Hate there can be not. To the dark side it will lead you. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Keith: Okay Yoda, I'll give it another try.
Yoda: Do or do not....there is no try.
Keith: Yes, master.
