It's 3am and I haven't slept a wink. However I have finished an over 500 page novel that I was really aching to finish. I read about 250 pages today (well technically yesterday and "this morning") and am quite proud. I'm wanting to start my next book but it's hard for me to jump right in immediately...I mean after I sleep yes...or even after some hiatus of hours but just not immediately you have to kinda "let go" of the book you have just finished, briefly "grieve it", "kiss it goodbye" and then you move on. Next I'll be starting The Things They Carried which I have been meaning to read for quite some time now. I hope to finish it in like two days because I'll have a batch of new books coming (including Jodi's newest which came out yesterday...that feels like today cuz I haven't slept...MARCH 1st) and it's not a huge book, like 250 page range. and heck I'm on vacation! Found a really good quote today and it definitely sums up my approach to vacation in all its reading glory:
"I've never known any trouble an hour's reading didn't assuage."
-Charles De Secondat
I failed to officially note that I added a new cool gadget to the blog that being my "shelfari" bookshelf. Shelfari is a super fun website where you share with people what you are reading/have read/plan to read and can discuss books books and more books. Feeling very bookish these days...influenced by the site perhaps. Still feeling writerish as well, no fear. The noveling neurotic hasn't left the building.
