Reading for the sake of READING...

...I forgot what that was like.

I mean, I feel like whenever I read anything lately, I just want to finish it so that I can move on to the next book. I JUST realized this as I finished a book tonight (er...this morning?). Great book. Great author. Melissa Bank. She writes 'single women' well. In this case (the book is called 'The Wonder Spot') the main character is a Jewish woman...and I love her. And I also realized that this is not the first book I have read about a young-ish single jewish woman...and how much I love this type of book. I don't have any close Jewish friends, so i don't know if these thought processes are natural, or if these authors just write similarly or what...but it makes me wish I was Jewish and think that I should be. I don't seek these books out...they just find me.

I make no sense.

I just like their man-adventures.

But the point of this post....

I read the book...but i read the last half of it very quickly...probably skimmed it more than i should have....and I have been doing that a lot lately. I used to REALLY read things...get insanely caught up in them and emotional...(for example, Harry Potter...Had to put book 4 down and bawl my eyes out when Cedric died...book 5...when Sirius died, i was so freaked out that i ahd to put the book away for a couple days....)

I miss that. The next two books I have to read just so happen to be children's 'fantasy' type books, so maybe I'll get some of that back...

Blah. I think this all goes back my whole lazy, uncreative, uninspired dilemma I was having last week...

I think I should cut the cord on the TV.

...that happened in a book I read once....
