Read Any Good Books Lately?

I have an enormous pile of books that I keep dusting off. I just can't seem to get around to reading them.


It's not that I don't read. I read all the time. I just can't get around to actual BOOKS.
Why is this so difficult?
Because I have a subscription to THE NEW YORKER!!!
I love The New Yorker. I read it from Maira Kalman Cover to Sempe Cover and Everything in between! And just when I finish one issue another one appears in my mail box! It's like an enormous literary schmorgasbord that never ends. And I don't want it to!
But since many of you may not read The New Yorker, you may not have heard of my friend whose cartoons appear in the magazine (well, she's not actually my friend in real life but she feels like a friend) ROZ CHAST.

 
Here's just a mini sampling of her work:
 
 







 
If you want to see more of her work. And you know you do. You can check out her website HERE.
Or you can go score The New Yorker.
Then you too can acquire a dusty unread pile of books just like me!
BTW, I am not paid by nor do I work for The New Yorker. Although if they'd like to offer me a job...

This Post qualifies me to join up with The Marvelously Multi-Talented Maricel's
Thoughtful Third Thursday...also hosted by Sweet Selah.
And I believe I am vaguely channeling a bitter old 1940's librarian. So that qualifies me to join up with Anne for 52 pick-me-up 1940's.
Aaaaaannnddd...Patti's Magic Mirror.
See you there!
