2005 book 99

stephen sherrill's the minotaur takes a cigarette break
i think it's book 99--i didn't think to check whyat yesterday';s numbers were. if not, i'll edit it some other time!
this book was pretty entertaining--the minotaur, immortal, has taken a job working in the kitchen of a restaurant, where he becomes infatuated with a waitress, but of course being half man, half bull makes life complicated for the guy. i think neil gaiman comparisons might be appropriate here--there's a little bit of that sort of a humor, although sherrill's minotaur is also presented wistfully.

i was runnning low on books, but managed to hit a bookstore today--phew!! my sister got a pet hermit crab this afternoon, as well, which she promptly dubbed "napoleon dynamite." she plans on getting a friend for it ("pedro") when they get back to pittsburgh (the poor crabs at the store all had these garish shells--painted with baseballs and footballs and magic 8 balls, and with things written on them like "miami beach" [we're in south carolina]).
