Opened my email this morning from Evansville-Vanderburgh Library:
DO NOT REPLY. YOU HAVE BOOKS OVERDUE.
Overdue books? I'd forgotten that I even had any. So, I took a shovel and dug through the mountain of crap on my desk. Sure enough, three books I'd picked up a few weeks ago. All "must reads."
Must not.
Why do I do that?
One turned was Music Theory 101. Turns out that 101 is WAY too advanced for me.
One was on how to write successful songs. The first chapter spent a lot of time -- A LOT of time -- on how Melissa Ethridge wrote a song for Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth. After that, not much to it.
The final book was The Ode Less Traveled. Unlock The Poet Withing. I do remember getting a little farther into that one, but obviously not enough to keep with it.
Yes, there's a whole world of knowledge at the public libraries. But, the books don't read themselves. No, wait. They do now!
Off to return these, pay my fines, and pick up a book on tape (digital now). Perhaps my first one will be: How to read a book without falling asleep after one page.
Carpe diem Life,
David Kuhn
