A change of heart is just a change of scenery

The worst thing about finding older writings is witnessing the evolution. I guess hoping greatness is a gift and not a skill is what separates the unemployed from the moderately known. The back and forth, the third and fourth. Seeing four years of writing, of lists, of similar joys and disappointments, we never change. Or we have a stopping point that causes us to do a 180. Not just figuring it out, but making it work. These things, we things. The number of times I have written "work out" on to do lists, good thing I rarely read the damn things after I labor over writing them.

Some books:
A Child's Book of True Crime - Chloe Hooper Reread
Poisonwood Bible reading currently, really good
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff (Christ's Childhood Pal) by Christopher Moore recommended
Save the Waltz, Tender is the Night recommended
The Idiot - Dostoevsky recommended
The Prophet - Kihail Gabrain recommended
Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins research
infinite jest - david foster wallace research
the saint in new york - leslie chaplis research
