    Books that get a reaction(i.e.-People confronting you about it)

    Currently Reading

    Spoiled by Literature?

    i didn't dismiss it b/c it takes thinking. genre books are just easier to read and generally funnier. i actually prefer movies that require thinking and i consider them entertainment.

    Spoiled by Literature?

    i agree and disagree with you. literature kind of spoiled me. i couldn't bear to finish The Nanny Diaries b/c it simply didn't have any substance. it was entertaining and all, but it got old fast. i do love genre fiction though. its more for entertainment i suppose.

    Concentration while reading

    it's the same for me. i hate starting a new book though. most of the time i hate being introduced to new characters/settings.

    Concentration while reading

    hm, i can't really say that i do. my thoughts to linger often though. i guess i've just learned to pause reading or re-focus

    How many books have you read in 2005?

    75-100? wow.. the public library in my old town didn't like me. well, i didn't like them either. :p to fucking loud and gossipy and they'd take out the popular books out for themselves/familes. they weren't to good at their job either. once they put a book my sister checked in away, and they...

    Book Length

    i gravitate towards shorter books lately just b/c of time. but for the longest time i loved long books b/c i used to get really attached to the story. i dont really like buying short books for that reason, they seem almost like a waste of money. ironically i bought a copy of The Fountainhead for...

    Do you talk to yourself?

    i guess in a sense i'm constantly talking to myself in my mind. i write in all of these journals, both offline and online.. recently i was writing on a piece of paper in class out of boredom, and i started off saying something "well, time to talk to myself again"
