Reading habits
I might have a problem with my reading habits.
I love to read. I can't imagine not being able to read. And as much as I love reading fics, reading books is my first love.
However, due to lack of time, I haven't been reading much lately. What I have been doing, is buying books. Something I just realized today as I was coming back from the bookstore with Stephen King's latest weapon of mass destruction (Seriously. Under the Dome is 1072 pages long. In Hardcover, if that thing falls down from my bookcase, it could seriously injure someone. So, it's going to be in the lower shelf of the bookcase) and I put it on the table of books I have gotten since last October and I haven't read... I realized that there were a bit too many.
I'm halfway through El Evangelio del Mal (L'evangelie selon Satan by Patrick Graham) which is very interesting but the translation is so localized for Spain that it's giving me some troubles. Then my friend Lore lend me Let's Go Play at the Adams, which I only started, before getting The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella (A book I've been looking for 10 years, so I really couldn't let it pass when I found it at the used bookstore), Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, because I really liked Pride and Prejudism and Zombies, then when I went to order Under the Dome, I found Dead Until Dark, and it was so cheap I just had to buy it, and it was only the fact that Under the Dome is *really* heavy what stopped me from getting the first Cirque D'Freak book at the same bookstore... or ordering the first Percy Jackson book because apparently, they can get it for me.
So, yeah. I have a huge problem. I guess I have to stop looking for new books until I've made a dent on the 'to read' column, right?
