The House of Usher (of Books)

“The grim phantasm,” of paper.

The blurry, delicately left-aligned photograph you see here are all of the books in my possession that are in queue for reading. Please note the absence of the highest priority item, Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom, which has been posted from an operative in Ebayland.

You see, book club has started back up after a summer break and we can’t seem to break away from those writings on either politics or religion — the two topics most favored in discussions between people that hold differing beliefs. There haven’t been any fights yet, I think because the ambiance of Max & Erma’s innards and the smudged lipstick of their female waitstaff inspire an inordinate amount of good cheer and mutual deference in argumentation. I haven’t checked under table yet to see if there are any drawn daggers or flipped birds.
