I met a co-worker at my serving job. She was working as cashier for the to-go orders and the like, and had a book with her. I know we're supposed to have a no cellphone use policy on shift, but it does get bloody boring at the front once you run out of things to clean and organize... so I had a book two weeks ago. Nobody gave her a stink for having it and we got to talking about books before it got busy.

She was so happy to be talking to someone who read, and she's got a library in her house like I do. I have a feeling when we meet we'll be passing book suggestions to each other every week (hee hee). Now I gotta narrow my book list of what to bring with me today, because I'm working register for 7 hours. I need to finish "Dune Messiah" already, but I need to do some research, too, so I'm figuring out which nonfiction I should put in my bag in case I wrap up DM with time to spare (usually I save fiction reading for the evening to wind down, but I've been so bloody tired after shift I just check the news and go right to sleep, dang it).
