Must.. sleep..
Urrrrrgh. Damn you books, damn you to hell for consuming my soul!
I'm quite a bookworm at times, and when I get into a story find it impossible to put down, sometimes not noticing hours go past. My books shelves haven't got anything particularly unusual, favouring fantasy and old biddy literature(Little Women, Anne of Green Gables etc).
Anyway, this year I hadn't really been reading that much. I'd depend on the ipod, psp or good old sleep on the commute, and when I get home surfing or vegging in front of the tv. The odd book here and there, but nothing I couldn't read a chapter here, there, coming back to it after a couple days, lasting a week or 2 or 3. Then a couple months back, discovered a shared love of fantasy series with a colleague. OSHIT. Lent him my A Song of Ice and Fire series (currently 5 or 6 books?), and he recommmended HIS favourite author; a woman called Robin Hobb.
I don't think it's quite as good as ASOIAF, but it's still addictive, and she ties everything together really well. She's created one world, where's she's centered 3 trilogies. 3! So in 2 months between work and busy weekends, I've devoured the first 2 trilogies, 6 books so far. All with average 900 pages? I just started the 1st book of the final trilogy yesterday at lunch.. I stopped short of the last chapter or so at 5.30am this morning ;__;
So yea, after this long senseless ramble, I think I got about ooh.. an hour dozing/light sleep last night/this morning? I was in for work at 8.30am, which isn't a record breaker at all, but along with the weather, I want nothing more then the comfy retreat of my duvet right now. Wahhh!
