February Texts!

14 books this month... which means one every two days. Not bad for a polyamorous reader.

Other observations? Two more of my authors on my resolutions list down (31 more to go!), an exclusive devotion in fiction consumption to trashy novels (one chick-lit and one sci-fic-dick-lit), no graphic novels, a prurient interest in the 19th century... and absolutely no gallery exhibitions which caught my interest. (Actually, the Tim Etchells videos were in the Fringe Gallery, and they were ubercool, but most of the other art I saw was unremarkable).
