what have i done

I was in the mood for Katherine Anne Porter tonight, so in the mood for Katherine Anne Porter and I've searched my bookshelves and she has yet to turn up. My KAP reader is not to be found.

The only scenario to account for it's disappearance was it's possible placement on a small pile of books to be given away at Half-Price Books. I probably got fifty cents for it and now I have to buy it back  for $5 or maybe even $8. That frenzied gathering of so-called stale reads I was putting together a few months ago has led to a disappointing evening. I should have slowed down, I should have been more methodical. I can part with all sorts of things but not books. When will I learn?

I was too tired to walk or drive to Half-Price and yet too awake to  just forget about the whole thing. I could find the story online but I don't want to read Katherine Anne Porter online. I loathe the Kindle as well and refuse to accept it as a substitute for a book of any sort. I would rather die of frustration searching for Katherine Anne Porter's words in the files of my mind than pick up a Kindle. I'll search the files of my mind, there is a least imagery left over from her stories I have read if the exact sentences are not.  Maria Concepcion=cactus.

Well, now I am in the mood for Anais Nin. MFK Fisher always led me to KAP and she always led me to Anais Nin. I am fickle that way. Time for tea and Anais.
