In progress: books.
Before college: I read linearly (wow that does not look or sound like an actual word). It didn’t occur to me not to and jr. and high school reading loads didn’t warrant anything else.
During college: on a quarter system, focused on my major, I learned in short order how to flip between a stack of books without needing to finish one before starting another. Note-taking is how I got through it; a brief glimpse to reset my mental Etch-a-Sketch® and away we go.
After college: I’m unable to read one thing at a time. Every so often I’ll warp-speed through a single book, but the norm is: this one for a day or two, that one for a few hours, that other one for a day, etc.
Currently:
- 2666 - Roberto Bolaño
JM mentioned it to me a few months back and then Casey started the 2666 book club and here we are. (That Amazon review is excellent, I think.) - Outlander - Diana Gabaldon
Not my usual (if have a usual), but fun! Especially since it starts out at Inverness, a place I’ve been. - Lincoln: Biography of a Writer - Fred Kaplan
Supplemented with a book of all his speeches and letters, which doubles as a free weight! … - The Last Olympian - Rick Riordan
Dragging my feet because the series is friggin’ fun and I’m annoyed it’s the last book. (: (I’ll at least finish by February…) - A manuscript from a friend who probably thinks I’ve forgotten it, but I haven’t!
