the bookcase: one giant toy

it's a question i'm often asked: "but mailee, what do you do all day?" well, here's your answer: i pull books off the shelves. you can tell what kind of mood i'm in by which book i've selected to throw on the ground and step on. on this day, i chose "the piano lesson," by the recently deceased august wilson. but it could just as easily be "bloodhound ben" if i'm feeling playful; zagat's "2002 new york city nightlife" when i'm ready to party; or "spanish grammar," for those times when i'm muy curioso. every night, dad picks up the books, and every morning, i throw them down. which ones will it be today?
