Am I reading too much? Possibly. I've read 29 of my 30 book goal I set for myself this year. It is only May. YIKES! Does it help that I have a part-time job that allows me to read? Absolutely. Does it help to have a full-time job which has atrophied to shadow of its former self, allowing for downtime between tasks? Yes it certainly does. I do my work then read when finished. Another possible help might be that as an introvert I'm more comfortable just chilling with a book, on the couch at home or tucked away in a corner at a coffee shop (thanks Katie!!) So, as I'm making my way thru the collection of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which contains all five books of the inaccurately named trilogy, I do need a break from time to time, inbetween volumes. The solution has been to read shorter lenght books/novellas. It's worked well so far as I've been reading books that haven't been "on my radar" lately.
I just finished Red Pony by Steinbeck
After that I read
Now, I'm going back to the well, so to speak. Refreshing my love of literature by reading the Holmes novel I have not read. The Hounds of the Baskervilles!
What better way to commerate the right & proper coming of Spring (that winter stuff doesn't count!) than reading books about; a boy on the farm with his pony, a china rabbit on an extraordinary journey of love and discover and a classic mystery of a supernatural curse as deduced by Sherlock Holmes. Errr....right? yeah Spring.
Spring seems to excite the reading bug in me. I don't fight it. I'm down with the sickness. I hope to spend plenty of time at a park (with not too many people of course) with books and Katie. The two best things my soul needs to be refreshed & renewed. LET'S GO!
