"The stranger was a woman, at least as tall as a small chair..." 101/365

"... and probably as old as someone who attended nursery school many years ago. She was entirely dressed in articles of clothing, and have nothing on her feet except a pair of socks and two shoes." -The Unauthorized Autobiography of Lemony Snicket.

I wanted to do a picture with my books. The I realized I hardly own any books that aren't textbooks. Seriously this is it.

I have been reading "Dead Men Do Tell Tales- The strange and fascinating cases of a forensic anthropologist" for about 6 months now. It's not that I don't enjoy reading or am bad at it. I just am so busy and get so distracted that I can't.

    Oh I definitely know the feeling, looking at my bookshelf is depressing I think I more or less only kept my reference books and a small select group of fiction. I love the composition of this shot =)
