Been a while, here's some library books

I haven't been by here in quite some time. Things haven't been great at all, they've been mighty tough, and I didn't particularly want to share.

Still don't.

But I'm about to return some library books and I wanted to give them lip service- though I will also have skipped a bunch of other books, like 'Flashman' and some of my beloved Horatio Hornblower's (maybe just the one..)

so there was 'How Not To Be Wrong' by Jordan Ellenberg which I thought would aide my argument-making abilities. Nope, just talked about math stuff. I learned about the Laffer Curve, which is basically the representation of effective taxation for the purposes of raising government revenue where you raise the least money ($0) at 0% and 100% taxation, and therefore finding that sweet maximum point in between is what it's all about. And by 'it' I mean deciding what tax rate is the best.

I got super bored with the rest of the book, and was reminded by a girl at work that I didn't HAVE to read it.
Huh. She's right! I'm done with you, boring book!

Then there're two autobiographies

Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. Look her up, she's internet meme famous for the "ALL THE THINGS" picture, which is in fact in this book. Quick read, fun. Recommend.

Then I've got the embarrassingly titled "Never Have I Ever: My Life (so far) Without a Date" it's got a bunch of hearts all over the cover, and perhaps this wasn't the manliest book to read on the subway. Whatever. It was really fun. Curse those heartless men, they shoulda been dropping like flies at Katie's feet!

There's an exercise book that I'm going to have to return today, can't renew it. I'll get it back later.
