Reading
I used to read a lot. On and off anyway. I go in cycles. One year I’ll read 12 books or something and then the next a magazine or two… of the In Style quality.
So what’s my latest book? I’m trying to read a book on the history of Istanbul. I’ve gotten about 50 pages in on one reading session. Haven’t picked it up in weeks. But that’s the book I’m officially reading right now.
In my short list of things I Intend to Read Soon are:
Marcus Aurelius Meditations
Fyodor Dostoyevsky Demons
The latest Rolling Stone
Ambitious.
I haven’t done jack lately. I haven’t had cable since July, but it isn’t like it’s made me any more useful. I haven’t done anything useful in ages. Sometimes it’s fun to just waste time but you have to just stop at some point and do something. But after you’ve laid around long enough, it’s so hard to start again. Days roll into nights into days and weeks and then months pass.
*sigh* I was on such a kick in the summer!
