written word magic Yesterday I did something that I haven't done in a long time. I read part of a book and it was so nice to be doing something that I view as productive, but is relaxing at the same time. During a lull at work I managed to consume a few chapters of Paul Theroux's Hotel Honolulu, which I had started some time at the end of last year. Years ago there were summers where I would choose an author and read as many of his or her books that I could find at the library. That was how I came to know Heinlein and Steinbeck as well as I do. Sadly now I have problems reading one book a month and that has to change. |
