There are Strange Things Happening

While wandering around Barnes and Noble this evening helping my friend pick out a few new finds for her reading pleasure she looked at me and said "E, can you explain to me why you don't read? You don't really go out and you aren't into TV? So, what exactly is it that you do when you're at home?" It's a really legitimate question and she makes really great points. Unfortunately, I didn't have much of a reply....

I loathe crowds. The idea of strangers constantly bumping into me is a bit overwhelming. The idea of watching TV sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry. I'd much rather spend my time with a few close friends enjoying nice conversation, fine wine and food (food's a definite must), and preferably some place quaint and not overly crowded.

Tonight I came home with two new books and I feel really excited about it!!!



AND, I'm in the middle of "reading" roughly three others. Granted, I've been in the middle of "reading" these three others for probably somewhere between six months and a year. Ha. I should note, my idea of "reading" is probably vastly different than the majority of other people's idea of reading. Maybe I struggle with ADD and it prevents me from reading one book all the way through. In fact, if I'm honest, maybe it prevents me from completing a book at all. I probably have no business trying to read multiple books at one time since I can't really complete one in any reasonable amount of time. All the same though, I've made a commitment to her to read an entire book with her and to meet weekly to discuss. I can't remember the last time I read an entire book. This should be really interesting but very exciting.
