I guess I should describe my coworker to you. He looks like he could have worked in the mines in some time of his life. He has a low brow and a deep under bite that makes him look angry all the time. A quiet deep voice with a thick British accent that is sometimes hard to hear. BUT when you actually sit down and have a conversation with him he is the most eloquently spoken man I've ever talked to! I've met his wife before too and she is adorable! They make quite the couple.
Back to the story: I'm such a dork; I pull out my big list of titles I want to read and we go through them and see if he's read any or if I'd read any on his mental list... for about a half an hour. He then starts telling me about his favorite book ever: The Poisenwood Bible. He says he loves to sit by the fireside in his study and get lost in the pages of this book. It changed his life. I excitedly wrote it down on my list and told myself I'd read it one day.
Fast forward to Monday: I walk to my desk and see the usual pile of letters and boxes people want shipped from over the weekend, sigh. I pick them up and put them on my desk and notice something else that is not wrapped in paper...
How excited am I!!!
I'm about a quarter of the way through and I love it!
