 | 2:13 PM - sweet relief For the first time in a long while, I made myself finish a book that wasn't all too thrilling for me. Usually I feel a slight sense of regret when I realize I'm on the last chapter of a novel--I'm caught in between the desire to quickly find out how the story will wrap up and the poor attempts I make to read more slowly than usual to make it all last a bit longer.
I read Jane Smiley's Good Faith, a novel about early 80s financial ventures and real estate goings-on, complete with a smattering of illicit affairs and funny little moments. Unfortunately, I don't much care for financial talk. For some reason, I stubbornly made myself finish this book, which resulted in my spending many more nights reading it than I usually take to read a book. I need a really, really great book next to make me feel better about my time management.
Maybe I'll set my sites on school work and get back to the novels later...
Or not. |
