I have decided to read a "classic" novel. Something like Grapes of Wrath or Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mockingbird (all of which I've never read, so I know little-to-nothing about) or something. This is a big step for me, so I want to start with something substantial and rewarding, but not too hard to read. And not TOO much symbolism.

Any recommendations? Please don't ask me to read anything like Goethe's Faust or anything that was originally in latin or greek. That's too hard to read. I want a somewhat easy read.

Now that [livejournal.com profile] nymysys has her car up and running, the fates have apparently decided to jam the bad car karma up my ass. On the way home, my Jeep suddenly got very very loud. I think something in the exhaust popped loose, but I didn't see where. I could feel it jiggle when I went over a bump. So tomorrow morning, it goes to the garage. Please cross your fingers that it's not expensive. I don't have the $ for this shit.

Still, though, I'm in a good mood.

I'm Going To Go Back There Someday
Performed by The Great Gonzo

This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, and yet so far away.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I've never been there, but I know the way.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.
We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.
We can hold onto love like invisible strings.

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.
I'm going to go back there someday.
