Some Summer Reading

We've been raeding Rats, a strangely fascinating book about rats and New York City. So far we've learned that rats like garbage, which may explain the days at the ally of 135.

We may have blogged this before, but we'll recap again just for fun.

While we were at Rutgers living at 135 Easton Ave, our landlord decided to sell the house. We were expected to clean the ally next the house where large amounts of trash had accumulated over time, though some of it from before we lived there.

In either case, we started cleaning and found a small rodent. Then another. We then demanded assistance from some of our housemates who were rather apathetic about cleaning up the ally. But eventually they showed up, and we found more rats. One was released "in the wild" in the ally next to a certain pizzaeria we detest. And then we saw the mother of all the little rats run off towards Prosper Street. Coincidentally, that street had a rat infestation by the end of the summer. Anyway, like we said, the lesson learned is to avoid keeping trash around.

But anyway, when we finish reading Rats, Amazon has put together A Collection of Books that might interest us. 1,082 books to be more specific. For $8,000, its quite a deal. We somehow doubt we have room for all of them though.
