These Two Books

These two books.

As different as two books can be, in some ways.

But if I do not purchase any other book for the rest of this year, I will have done well in the book purchasing department.

Because of these two books, I scrubbed the shower today. There's some serious avoidance and procrastination going on when scrubbing seems like a good idea. But I recognize the signs. It's these two books - they're getting to me. And as I fall asleep at night, the story I am writing begins to play in my head again.
