Kate reads books. For realsies.
BackEyesight by A R Ammons
It was May before my
attention came
to spring and
my word I said
to the southern slopes
I've
missed it, it
came and went before
I got right to see:
don't worry, said the mountain,
try the later northern slopes or if
you can climb, climb
into spring: but
said the mountain
it's not that way
with all things, some
that go are gone
Sorry I gave you the finger. I don't know what came over me.
Oh, I remember... BOOKS! Here are some I mentioned and some I didn't...

(here's a part of a poem from that)
from "Against the Fear of Death" by John Dryden
What Horror seest though in that quiet state,
What bugbear dreams to fright thee after fate?
No ghost, no goblins, that still passage keep;
But all is there serene, in that eternal sleep.
For all the dismal tales, that poets tell,
Are verified on earth, and not in hell.
Lullaby - Chuck Palahniuk
Giovanni's Room - James Baldwin
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides

The only book ive read (so far) that I've really enjoyed was "Ender's Game" By Orson Scott Key

1984 and The Giver are two of the best books I've ever read. And I love The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and Ordinary People by Judith Guest.
BOOKS FTW!

Neil Gaiman signed my copy of the comic book "The Sandman" which he wrote. Did you know that "Song of Solomon" is President-Elect Barack Obama's favorite book.

I found this video on another guy's favorite's list. I like sylvia too, and dryden and william carlos.
I noticed something, Kate, you've changed a great deal since you made this video. This was a cool video, most of your videos are, but there seems more joy in your recent videos. There's nothing wrong with joy, or depression, but I am glad that you are doing so well.
By the way, you don't owe us anything, we owe you. Have a joyous day. :)
