BOOK I

So I bought a new book December 19th. I was dying to get started on it and have been a pretty loyal reader; for 20 or 30 minutes each night. There are times I can’t put it down for an hour, but they are rare, and there have been times I have read the same lines over and over since I can’t seen to watch a movie and comprehend my reading at the same time[they didn’t teach that in the hill country]. At any rate, I am nearing the end. 302 pages down [all comprehended, giggle] and I am nearing the climax of the story. Many of you have seen the movie so I can not tell you the name [Boss, hush] or you would spoil it for me. The rest of you whom have not seen the movie, likely have no interest in it or the book, so I will not waste your time.

I will say that it has added a few words to my vocabulary, none that I will likely use again. But hey, knowledge none the less.

My reason for rambling on about this is simple. It is to state a little known peeve of mine. Note to self: perhaps research a bit [ok, research at all] next time. Perhaps Lucy knows this best. I HATE when you get to the end of ANYTHING and it says “PSYCHE” “TO BE CONTINUED”. It is one thing to know, but it is another to be blind sided. Like on a Hallmark special and you have to tune in next Sunday, only you weren’t planning on tuning in next friggin’ Sunday.

So as I said, I am nearing the end of my book. I decided to see how many pages were left so I could decide whether or not to stay up and finish it (often times they fill the back with crapola). To my astonishment I see a preface to BOOK TWO. WHATTHEFUCK!! I’m sorry. I gasped. I might have even yelped like a wounded mouse. No, I think it was more like a squealing pageant girl. I thought I was almost done and I have only just begun. WELL, FASHIZEL!!

THEN, I look at the back cover and it says[did I mention my future note to self? ‘research’] BOOK I, II, III.

So I don’t have to tell you that I reached over and turned out my light.
