Kittens for Krugman




I know, I said I wasn't going to buy any more books, but then I read this review.

Update: Paul Krugman has crossed over to the Dark Side. He's cat blogging. Cool.

i had made a vow to pretty much not buy anything beyond food, medicines, cat litter, and replacement socks and underwear when the holes got too noticeable. and books, i need more books like i need more cats.

still, like you say, how could we not? i've been slowly giving away a lot of the books, and i'm considering donating this one to the library when i finish reading it.

Am I correct that this is your first pic of the dog online, or is it only the first since I became your devoted reader? A fine-looking critter, either way!

I began reading COAL (Krugman uses the abbreviation himself) when it first came out, when I was sitting in a bookstore, waiting for a friend. I stole, um, previewed about a chapter and a half in the time available, and found it contained a few insights I had never thought of. (Duh!) I look forward to reading the whole thing legitimately. The local library has finally ordered it, but I may not be able to wait that long. Feel free to post quotes. :)

i've seriously considered posting selected quotes from coal. it may yet happen.

the dog is shy, and only shows up in two other posts [both under feral blogging]
