I'd rather be reading.

I would, you know. I'd much rather be reading.

If I was reading, I think I'd be reading Gaza Blues: Different Stories, a book of short pieces by Isreali fabulist Etgar Keret (whose work I love) and Palestinian author Samir El-Youssef (who I haven't read).

Alas, instead, I am shelving.
