the days are just packed, huh? hny and other annual happies!
122 books.... that's commendable !
you published a book? which? when?
Show off.
/seriously, dude, do a productivity post.
//And a happy new year to you.
122 books this year -- one book in three days. That, I have to say, is superhuman, considering you are in a tenure track position -- a position that has little to do with the humanities. Even Chandrahas, who does reviews for a living, reads sixty odd books. You must manage your time in the most optimal way possible. I am very, very curious now.
SB: Yup. What I really need is a Duplicator. And to you too.
Chica: Thanks
Nishit: see here
km: Hey, if you've got it...
and to you too.
Hari: The thing to remember is that the bulk of my reading is poetry, with a typical book being ~ 70 pages.
Of course, not having a personal life helps too.
122 books...whoa! So any book recommendations coming our way?
Happy New 2010
Next year I wish the cookies come out right :)
Nice list.
When are you getting married?
Hny
n!
This reminds me: I saw your book in a bookstore the other day and was very disappointed. It was all eaten up on the sides and I was scared to touch it. Then I saw your book in another bookstore and it was wrapped in plastic, to keep it away from very hungry worms, I suppose.
But I am also scared of books wrapped in plastic.
But nice list. Especially on reading and writing and listening to symphonies. I don't understand music, except in poetry. I also wish I had turned thirty.
I baked several batches of cookies in 2009, and regretted only one.
You are my freaking age. Now I'm depressed.
Happy New Year.
