read like the devil's on my heels



so, true to my prediction, i posted once here and then abandoned it, like a puppy in a ditch. but, like a reformed puppy owner, i'm back (?). the latest in my life is that i'm taking comprehensive exams in about a month here. one month from today, in fact. in order to be through my lists by then, i have to read 95 books (hope no one on my committee finds this!) now i do like reading, but reading under pressure has a way of taking the fun plain out of it. welp. i should get back to it.

so true!! when i'm forced to read i get really bad and start reading non-academic things, like harry potter or lord of the rings or agatha christie. pleasure reading is so much more pleasurable when i'm under pressure to read something else.
