From Wikipedia, Johnson lives in Ucross, Wyoming, population 25, lol. Population 25 just tickles this MA resident. I don't think we have many streets that have only 25 people.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Then again, the books usually are. To me, there's nothing better than our own imagination. With this series I'm glad to have both!

One is on I Pad, the other a real book, and I read one or the other depending upon how charged up my Pad is, or the tiredness of my eyes.

I didn't expect Walt to be a book reader when I saw the first episode, I'm glad they show that a thinker isn't an automatic genius or just a stereotypical hero.

As for me, I'm reading the second novel of the Elder Scroll books "Lord of Souls" by Greg Keyes. I'm also hoping to be starting today "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco (I saw the film several times and have enjoyed it). If not that one, then either "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White, or "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman.

It never occurred to me growing up that a person could read more than one book at a time, so I never developed a practice for it. That's why I won't be reading all those at once, instead of being sure of which I'm going to read. I'm pretty sure it's going to be Eco's novel, though.

I am on my easy reading run right now....nothing too deep. Plus, I got a bunch of books from a friend's husband to donate to the library, and decided to read them first.

With Travis McGee and a Barry Maitland police procedural for their fiber content.

9. _Shooting Star_ by Robert Bloch

50s pulp detective yarn with possibly the cheesiest cover ever! One eyed detective/literary agent investigates a murder of a film star to clear the name of the star from whiffs of weed smoking. Kind of reefer madness noir.

Listening: _A Dance of Dragons_ by George RR Martin. Most recent of the Song of Ice and Fire books. Running parallel to the events in _A Feast for Crows_ with different viewpoint characters.

2013: 66 and counting.
