Words Vs. Pictures

As I'll be here for six months, I brought quite a few books with me. If I don't finish all of them, I'll blame it on my current addiction to Parks and Recreation, which I've been watching on Hulu (which I can't access in Italy, but for some reason, it flies here in Qatar). I know it's similar to The Office, which I like, but I feel like I didn't really get in on the ground floor. Perhaps, one day, I'll start renting it on Netflix and make my way through the whole series. Until then, I'll stick with P&R, most of which I can currently watch online.
As for the books, here's what I brought:

The Dart League King by Keith Lee Morris
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz
The Insanity Defense by Woody Allen
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
Rabbit, Run by John Updike
Zeitoun by Dave Eggers
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
The Song Is You by Arthur Phillips

C-Dawg:
Glad to hear that you are safe and sound in Qatar. I was worried that you haven't responded to my last e-mail, when I discovered that it was still sitting in my Outbox--STUPID OUTLOOK!
Anyway, I've hacked my work's firewall to read your Blog, so I can stay up to speed with things now.
I'll be sending you some good stuff at the end of the month--so keep an eye out for it!
Hope all is well!
