Can you see them? Those thick ones. Or just an uncomfortable subject. Recommended but forgotten. Sitting on the top shelf where you always see them but never look. Did you just see a tail?
I commented that Life of Pi is one of my dust bunnies. I'm sure I've still got it, it sat there forever, falling deeper and deeper into the dark recesses of the book shelf. I saw a movie trailer for it recently, a MOVIE trailer!
Under the Dome, The Count of Monte Cristo, Atlas Shrugged. I wonder what other treasures I'll find when I deep a little deeper.
What are your Literary Dust Bunnies?
So my graphic isn't really a dust bunny. It should be scary to all that own books (or any paper for that matter). Laura M. Haight and recent discoveries in Eletromagnetic Mycelia reads like science fiction and I'm not smart enough to know real from fake. Head over and take a look at some of her other photographs. My question is, how were the books left alone long enough for the fungi to get so big?
I hope I'm protecting my treasures better!

Honestly, I thought "Life of Pi" was disappointing. You know when someone tells a story and then they say, "It didn't really happen" or "It was all a dream"? It was kind of like that. The ending was a cop-out. I saw the film trailer, though, and it looks good. I wonder if it'll be one of those rare times when the movie is actually better than the book.
ReplyDeleteRead The Count of Monte Cristo. It's been a while for me, but if memory serves, you won't be disappointed.
For me, it's probably a couple of history books that have been sitting there. I know I'll love them once I start. I just have to start.
