I am sitting on my living room floor, waiting for the hurricane to pass through Manhattan.
My neighbors invited me to an afternoon get-together to drink Bustelo, eat cookies and watch the leaves and possibly some trees fly by the two large windows, which serve as a simple white frame to our temporary world. In-between the two windows, there is a gigantic portrait of Jesus or maybe, I should say Jesús since it is a Dominican household.
But I feel like being alone today, alone with my books and my writing. As I was sorting through books today, I was very proud to see how few I had. Book hoarding is neater than hoarding food, but it still creates unnecessary clutter, something I abhor.
My Kindle has certainly helped reduce my book purchases. There are some books I donated to the universal library that I miss, but it was a much-needed purge. People often ask me for a list of books to read, so here is what's left of my library, in paper form anyway. See which ones appeal to you, read them, and next time you see me, we'll talk about a book.
