Bookstore

5 true confessions of a jaded mind

* I am simply incapable of leaving a bookstore without purchasing at least one tome.

* A 5-year-old once beat me at putt-putt. I was a teenager at the time.

* I’m also lousy at bowling.

* It is very difficult for me to return library books on time. Part of the problem is the fact that the library is 20 miles away. The other part is that it’s only open for limited hours (usually when I’m sleeping). Try as I might, I always end up paying fines.

* Whenever someone famous dies — particularly a person I admire — I’ll spend the next week searching for their movies or books or music or TV shows and then going on what I call a “tribute binge.” It just feels like the best way to honor them and their artistic contributions.
