Well, as you can see from the sad "stack" in the lower photo, it was not a good month for reading, for me. For the last two weeks I've been really busy at work, and literally did not read anything. I finished Monsters of Templeton before the madness started, as well as half of A Natural History of the Senses and Mansfield Park. The major work on our project ended friday night, and yesterday I did some major relaxing, and also read all of Night.
I got a lot of great deals on books this month. I got A Natural History of the Senses, Night, The Russian Debutante's Handbook, and Snobbery for $3 each. I found Motherless Brooklyn on clearance at Urban Outfitters for $1.
Well, I hope there's more time for reading in June.
