Summer is ephemeral. You only have so many days to do whatever it is you're going to do...and I've tried to waste no time in this regard. If you're like me, you do little to no outside reading while in classes during semester, since you have no true free time in which to do it. I stay caught up in my reading for classes but nothing else. This leaves spring break, winter break and the summer to do as much reading as possible. I take this duty seriously as proved by my foray to the library last evening. I planned on picking up some interesting stuff, and being that it's a library, if I didn't like it I could return it! No money wasted. When I left the library I had 10 books. My requested books are already coming in and they hadn't even had time to call me yet. I wasted no time in reading either. I polished off The Slippery Slope and Paper Chase last night before bed. Honestly, I enjoyed The Slippery Slope far more than Paper Chase. So what if it's a children's book. I also started a book that spoke to me as a blogger. It's called Join Me. It's about a guy named Danny who decided one day to start a collective. He set out ads in the local paper asking people to join him by sending in a passport photo. That's was it. It's now a phenomona. It's worldwide. It has a website. The book is a hoot. It's amazing what a group of people can and will do if put to the task. Oddly enough, I feel compelled to join him.
