More reading

A little update on the library progress is in order. Already in the tote bag to be returned:

• Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo - hilarious, if you read the enclosed lyrics. The pigs chant in Pig Latin.
• Books 2-5 of the Spiderwick Chronicles (I read Book 1 last week). These are entertaining, especially for younger kids. Us older kids, though, who are used to the magnitude of Harry Potter, might be a little underwhelmed.
• Much Obliged, Jeeves (P. G. Wodehouse). The television series is genius, but the books are equally genius in their own right - there are lots of great scenes that never made it to the screen. Fry & Laurie are hilarious, and I hope that Stephen Fry's QI series makes it over here someday.
  
• Framed: A Baby Blues Treasury - one of the comic strips I read every day, along with Get Fuzzy, Non Sequitur, and a few others.
  

And there are half a dozen crochet books that need to be returned, as soon as I finish looking through them. I'm looking for patterns that don't take a lot of yarn, to use the one-of-a-kind skeins, and for something a little harder than scarves and hats, but not as hard as some of the crocheted Aran sweaters that are tempting me.

That'll get the "out" list from the library down to around 35 items.
