a nice compliment
it was nice this week and i decided to take my lunches outside. finished reading “american gods” by neil gaiman and started a new book by a relativaly new author kim harrison. the second book is “dead witch walking” (yes, i know this sounds trite) and is really a lot of fluff. not bad fluff, but good fluff…
tuesday as i was getting up and clearing my spot from the table a gentleman sitting at the next table over asked me if the book “american gods” was any good. we got into a discussion then about neil gaiman and 50’s science fiction and the subject turned to one of my favorite authors robert heinlein. i started rattling off all the different books i had read until i was interrupted with the question “where did you graduate from college?” i shyly admitted that i never actual graduated, i just read a lot. however, that question was one of the nicest compliments i have had in a while and it made me smile for the rest of the week.
