June pleasure reading

Well so many things have been going on that I need to post (such as a 12 day trip to England and Wales!) but for now I'm going to give brief posts on the books I've read so that by the end of the year I don't forget that I did read books for pleasure throughout the year.  I actually read a lot more than I mention on here, but I don't count books that I'm re-reading or reading for work.

Anyway, in June during our trip I read a book called I Totally Meant to Do That by Jane Borden.  I borrowed this from my friend Caitlin who was reading it on the way back from New Orleans; she was giggling most of the time she was reading it and she pointed out excerpts for me to read when there were particularly funny moments.  Jane Borden is from North Carolina and went to UNC (but we mustn't hold that against her... too much :-P) and this book was all collections of things that have happened to her in her life but she had a funny way of spinning them all.  Many of her stories are only funny (or primarily funny) to those who are from NC and can actually appreciate what she's talking about.  What do you mean not everyone gives sausage and fruitcakes to people for Christmas?  Northerners just wouldn't see the humor there :)

She's pretty much like a female David Sedaris, so NC is producing some pretty awesome writers, that's for sure.
