Bullet train and a good story.
It's already Thursday. The week is flying by. They always seem to fly by these days. All the moments pass like a bullet train on a long stretch of track. It becomes difficult, sometimes, to focus on any one thing for too long before it is left behind like all the other stationary objects.
Excepts the nights. They seem to drag . Things are always worse at night. The first time I read that (it was in The Sun Also Rises, EH) I thought BINGO. I've actually taken to reading when I wake up in the middle of the night. My mind keeps racing until I do. It's not even a stressful thing, it's just frustrating to wake at 2:30AM and not be able to go back to sleep for the adventure my mind decides to take. So I've started reaching for my Nook if I can't get back to sleep within a few minutes.
I'm reading a pretty decent Tom Clancy novel right now - Shadow of the Dragon. I haven't read Clancy in a long time beause I'd seen an interview with him and he came across as such an arrogant prick. After seeing that I had a hard time reading his books because that arrogance came across on the pages and ruined the story. So anyway, I tried this book and I was able to read it. I guess enough time has passed. The setting is mainly in China and Albania, and I love stories in foreign countries. He does a great job with settings. And his books are not totally woke, which I appreciate.
And sometimes, I just need a good story.
