~I have always been an avid reader. Maybe not as much as a kid as I was in my teens, but I did read quite a lot compared to most people I know and knew back then. Yet, I am now starting to realize that maybe I’ve been reading the wrong stuff all that time. Like, when someone is asking me “Have you read […]?” And I am like, “Um… no?” And I always have a feeling that the book they are asking about it awfully important, and it HAS to be read, and I am an imbecile not even having heard of it.
So, I am now desperately trying to catch up with all the “right” stuff that just HAS to be on everyone’s read list, as well as keeping up with the stuff I keep hearing about, and it’s crazy. I kind of think about quitting the job in order to keep up with my list X___x And I know I’m going to be disappointed with myself if I don’t reach the end of it at some point.
~Speaking of, I finished “Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.” Where the hell has this book been my whole life? It’s YA and it’s very interesting, and it is full of very interesting authentic photos. It was not exactly what I thought it would be when I first heard of it, but it is a definite must read if you like adventures and mystery and stuff.
My only issue with this book is the ending because it was kind of incomplete in a way and I NEED to know what’s going to happen next, although I doubt I ever will. But in any case, I enjoyed it immensely, and I regret not coming across it earlier.
~And I started “Looking for Alaska” by John Green [yes, it’s just another new book I wasn’t supposed to buy because now I am book-broke], which I have heard about a lot, and which is yet another book I have no idea I haven’t started reading sooner. So far, I totally love it, and I really need to have a couple of days off to finish it. It is what I hate most about life - wasting top much time on some crap and then missing out on really important things. Like reading.
~I have a talk with my study advisor today. Well, at night. In the middle of the night. Coz this is how time difference works :P I did enjoy the conversation though. I have 2 of them - Scott and Tracie. Talked to Tracie, and it was lovely. And the more I talk to them, the more I think that I might actually go there, which I refuse to believe in for now…
~Crazy week at work. Not that I complain, it helps the time fly faster, which is always a good thing. I missed one yoga class but I’ll try to make up to it next week
