The Girl Who Read Too Much
I am reading like it's going out of style. Here is a conversation I had with my aunt last night:
Me: "I'm headed to the library... I need me some more books."
T: "Oh, there's lots of books to read here... I left a whole bunch in your room!"
Me: "Oh I know. But I still need more."
I think there's something wrong with me. I can sit in the same spot with the same book for a whole day, no--two days in a row, and have it finished. I read at lightning speed. So having a stack of eight or so unread books in my room is not nearly enough. Besides, they're pretty much just imitations of the Twilight series (or at least they look like them, all glossy black covers with only white and one other colour in the central image). They're by a lady named Kelley Armstrong, has anybody read them? Are they any good? Even if they are, I probably won't touch them until next summer. I'm getting enough of the underworld by reading the Sookie Stackhouse series.
I need some classics right now. I need a dose of reality to shine through the dank underworld that I've been hanging out in lately. I tried to borrow Lolita and Catch 22 from the library but alas, they were checked out. I did manage to find a well-worn copy of To Kill a Mockingbird that looked like it had passed through generations of teenaged hands via their high school English classes before finally being retired to an easier life on the public library shelves. Upon further perusal I managed to pick up Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here and Generation X by Douglas Coupland. Also on my reading list for the near future is The Great Gatsby. I bought it a few years back but somehow never managed to read past the first chapter.
It is these 4 books that I plan on bringing with me on our trip to Florida. I'll also have some of the SS eBooks on my lappy. So if I'm not eating or walking around a mall, you can bet dollars to donuts that I'll be reading in the sunny sunshine in the sunshine-y state.
Happy reading, y'all. Enjoy the final weeks of summer while they last!
