Do You Ever Feel Like A Ghost?
Last night, I dropped Karen off for a Life Guarding class. Instead of going home I figured I could waste five hours at the library and in Borders Books. Let me tell you, five hours is a long time! It was kind of fun though. I read:
2 Chapters of Black Swan Green by David Mitchell (Good!)
1 Chapter of Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon (!)
5 Short Stories by Miranda July (Weird!)
1 Essay by David Sedaris
1 piece by Rodney Rotham about how he pretended to work at a job for almost a month. (Hilarious!)
A Comic by Adrian Tomine (Awesome!)
1 Short Story by Kevin Brockmeier (Wow!)
1 Short Story by Jonathan Safran Foer (Holy!)
and various magazines...
I do this a lot, just read at bookstores. Afterwards though, I always feel like I'm in another world. I feel like I'm floating around and and invisible. I feel like a ghost.
Do you ever get so immersed inside your head, and thought, and ideas, and stories, that you feel like you're not really there? I think I like it.
P.S.

library = the best place in the world to read/do nothing at all.
