    TBR + TBD: To Be Read + To Be Drunk | August 2014 [video]

    It’s a new month and a (mostly) new list of things to read and things to drink. I say “mostly” new because once again I failed to read White Noise by Don DeLillo. But I have good reason. That reason: a read along with Rincey (http://www.youtube.com/rinceyreads) featuring Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. I’m committing to just one book this month, because I always seem to let myself down anyway. Set the bar low, is my new mantra. (more…)

    I’ve never done a To Be Read video. Why? I don’t care for them as a viewer, so I felt somewhat false in trying to project excitement for caring for them as a creator. However, I think I’ve found a way to easy my conscious. Introducing: To Be Read + To Be Drunk, in which I tell you the books I’ll be reading as well as the beers I’ll be drinking. Enjoy.
