It's All About the Books

So yesterday Dallin insisted on going to Barnes and Noble for seemingly no reason whatsoever. I just figured he wanted to check out the magazines. (That's usually all he likes to do there considering everytime we go it's upon my request) So i found a book to occupy my time while he went to do his thing. 20 minutes later he taps me on the shoulder with 4 books (some looked kinda girly) in his arms. He says "I'm sick of seeing you read the same freaking books all the time. I've found you new ones." I had to giggle. I knew he was just trying to help my dilemma. (It's been so slow at the spa lately that i've gone through 4 books in the past 2 weeks and am currently reading New Moon for the 3rd time) I think he's afraid that if i keep re-reading the same books i'll get sick of reading altogether. I actually got excited though. He grabbed me some that I'd heard were good. He got me:

1) The Memory Keepers Daughter (highly recommended by my mother)

2) some vampire book that will probably give me nightmares but he said he'd heard was awesome (The Strain)

3) The Road which i've never heard of but was apparently written by someone in some movie position that's done something amazing that Dallin loved

4) East of Eden which he said was supposed to be a challenge for me. We shall see. It looks interesting.

It just made me giggle and that made me feel the need to share. I will say though that he was slightly annoyed when i told him i was still going to finish New Moon even though i've read it already a bajillion times. I told him it was like turning off one of his favorite movies halfway through. Am i wrong? I like re-reading books. You notice more everytime you read them. It's like watching movies over except the entertainment lasts longer. Books are my favorite. It's all about the books.

Ps. Thanks to everyone who gave their opinions about the portrait vocally or blogging. :) Very helpful!
