I wonder if can I do it?
I got this diary which, if you can't read the type, is called Books They Tried to Ban.
Out of 53 titles, (well, the weeks of the year aren't all exactly Monday to Friday) I have read 11. Do you think I can read the rest this year? Hmmm- most look slightly interesting, but it's not made up of current banned books, so we have softies like Peyton Place, and Animal Farm.
Unfortunately The Da Vinci Code has been banned in some countries. Really don't want to read that one. And American Psycho has no appeal either. But I will give it my best shot.
I am starting off with Wild Swans, then onto Stick Out Your Tongue by Ma Jian which looks interesting. My bookshelf is Tibet heavy at the moment. I am ashamed that I didn't ask Mae's school to celebrate Tibetan New Year instead of Chinese New Year- that is my mission for 2009 (Sharon put it on your calendar- it's January 27th)
But it's a reading time of year, huh?
We don't all get lovely snow, you are right, Bethanne.
And, please note my new web banner- cool, huh? I am officially a technophile, even tho' I can barely spell the word. This will lead onto my next blog, which will be asking everyone who reads this blog (all three of you) for your help with my Amnesty work (what have I gotten myself into....!!)

Do NOT read the Davinci Code. You'll swear all the way through it and consider a lot of time wasted. And bring on the next post! I want to help. I used to be an amnesty member... I don't know what happened to me. I'll join again.
scottish amnesty members can get their will written for free from 18-29 feb. www.amnesty.org.uk/makeawill

Are the coloured words in the text supposed to be links? Because they're not, techno...dope.

No, most were for decorative purposes only, although I wish I could have seen you fantically clicking on them!!!
Ha ha! That was it exactly!
If you can get through Ulysses I'll give you a loonie.
