Burn After Reading

As you may have noticed, we haven’t been doing a lot of writing on our blog recently.  This isn’t a reflection of a lack of noteworthy events occurring in our lives but once again a lack of attention, from our scribe, to our daily accomplishments.  Thus, I took it upon myself to do a little reading in the hopes that this might provide me with some inspiration (and by me I mean my Dad) – or if that doesn’t work at least I might have an idea of what I’ll want to study decades before I ever go to college.   Call it a little home schooling…with the best teacher in the world:  ME!

First off, was a book called Tasting Home – recipes and stories.  I love food so maybe cooking is in my future.  Chef Tempi of Casa del Kibble!

And this next book that was really fascinating.

 

A book on how to teach your dog tricks!  Good luck teaching me- I am teaching myself all I need to know…but it might give me some ideas on how I can get those people to do what I want?

Then there was some science fiction…maybe I’ll be a writer.  Or is just reading a job?

Did some perusing of the Merck Manual.  Dr. Tempi…has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

Then a couple of biography type books.  The one on Robert Altman got me thinking of film school.  I could direct a pretty mean movie I think.  I also think I could fill the void that will be left whenever Barbara Walters stops interviewing people….especially after I finish that book of tricks!  😉

Some more fiction…different genres – all good reads.  I have heard being a Lit major makes for a good time in college but it isn’t the most marketable degree…unless you can write like Stephen King.

Or David Foster Wallace.  Dad got this book away from me before I really got into it but I think it might be worth the time…if I have a year or so free.

Now most of the books in our house have been but up on high shelves or in rooms I am not allowed in.  They are determined to not let me get too educated in my youth so that I don’t go off to college early…in fact, they don’t even let me do the homework like Montana and Sammy used to do.

I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that if I get a piece of mail in my mouth it ends up getting shredded…hehehe.

Now that I am done with my reading maybe I can get back to writing.  Hopefully the old man is ready to keep up with me and properly transcribe all my brilliance.
