feeling bookish



well, having survived yet another birthday [with the kind help of my closest love ones] and contemplating life on earth after the WFC [is this just another football club?], i have turned my attention to the literature enthusiast in me [y'know 365 pages, no plot] so i can have a few good reads on the upcoming [and soon to be posted ad nauseam] "cross country with two year old" adventure of a lifetime!

is this lot a good choice?

Burroughs/Kerouac + the hippos were boiled in their tanks[read most of burroughs, none of kerouac, so this should be an adventure]
Roth the dying animal [read it, and now a movie called elegy]
McCarthy no country for old men [seen the movie 2 or 3 times now, read the road, should do this]
Gaiman smoke & mirrors [short stories, so good for the road. loved american gods]

i think so, and i will welcome your comment.

and, above, a  few little grabs from the ether suggesting, perhaps, that there are too many books, and too little time!
