Head in the Clouds

I have finally picked up a Discworld novel.  This is a surprising development, not because it isn't something I would do (I totally would), but because I'm only getting around to it now.  I started with book one, The Color of Magic.  Thus far it is a very funny, and slightly hard to put down.

Having figured out Harold Washington Library's system for categorizing fiction, I hunted down another two books by another author, Richard Bach, who's apparently obsessed with aviation, but that's ok because his novels are nice short reads filled with a child-like imagination.  The only word I can describe them with is "charming".  Charming in the completely serious, un-ironic sense.  Pure day-dream like flights of fancy.  The series I picked up is called The Ferret Chronicles and it sounds exactly like something I would've written in middle school, with the big exception that Bach actually knows how to write novel and my middle-school self didn't (not that I didn't try).

In other news:  a friend of mine shared this video with me.  Post-its are versatile little things.

Earworm of the day: Take Me Into The Beautiful by Cloverton
(They also have a free download of the song at their website, just a note.  Free stuff is always neat.)
