This song isn’t
really about reading at all, but I’m still going to use it as an excuse to post
a couple of pictures of the results of two recent shopping sprees. These all
came from two of our favorite bookstores in Iowa City: The Haunted Bookshop and
Prairie lights Bookstore. Hitomi and I used to love browsing at all the
bookstore in the Boston area. Sadly, some of them are no more.
What I'm Reading Now
© 1992 Brian
Hutzell
They accused me
of not knowing what's going on
Told me I had no
clue
Said I was hiding
in a shell
Wrapped up in a
silk cocoon
What they didn't
know: the part about you
What they didn't
see: the part about me
And the fact that
now I'm free
If they could see
what I'm reading now
What has happened
to allow me to read what I'm reading now
We broke up, and
I have lots of free time
Unless I
constantly read, I can't control my mind
And it turns to
you
And I freak out
Gotta forget
about you
Get a new life
now
And new books to
read in new languages
Pages of stuff
I'll absorb like an undiscriminating sponge
Only to forget it
a week after I'm done
It appears I'm
crawling in a hole
But that's only
part of the story
There is a reason
for what I do
And my library
likes it too
What they didn't
know: the part about you
What they didn't
see: the part about me
And the fact that
now I'm free
If they could see
what I'm reading now
What has happened
to allow me to read what I'm reading now
If they could see
what I'm reading now
What has happened
to allow me to read what I'm reading now
