reading list

I felt a little better after writing what I did yesterday. The mood that I was in was strange and wasn't something that I could easily shake off.

I don't think that being uncertain about my life makes me any less of a person. Part of me likes to think that I am more real, because of the way that I question what I do in life. I don't create any fantasies about what kind of family I would like to raise in the future. It isn't a high priority for me at this time. I don't see myself as an arrested development case either. I go to work, pay my bills and try to have fun when I can. I have the same adult concerns as anyone else except that I'm not married nor do I have any children to support.

The above paragraph was written hours ago and I have no idea anymore where I was going with it so I guess I have to abandon that line of thought. Unfortunately this happens quite often when I cobble an entry together from assorted fragments written at different parts of the day.

I am so disappointed with the amount of books that I read this year. I started to make a list of what I read and it is so small. I averaged less than a book a month. Maybe in the coming year I can increase my average to a book a week. Well, anyway here is a small list in alphabetical order that I can remember from this year.

Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad
Jacob's Room - Virginia Woolf
Justice - Larry Watson
The Land Remembers - Ben Logan
Moon Shot - Alan Shephard and Deke Slayton
Return to Earth - Buzz Aldrin
Rosebud - David Thomson
The Stranger - Albert Camus

 
written input at the moment: Endurance - Alfred Lansing
