Ah the book I’m reading is so good I don’t want it to end! I got it last Monday and tomorrow is Monday. I wonder if I can finish it in a week. I read over 200 pages of it today, in bed, all day, only stopping to find something to eat, play on the computer, and stop briefly at my parents’.
But what makes a book so good? And how does it know when to come into your life? I have been eying this book for a while. First, I saw it in paperback at B&N. Then at the library. I am reading the library’s hard back copy. The pages are smooth and thin, but the book is heavy. I knew at once that I must read it. And for some reason, last Monday, I took it out thinking, now is the time to read this book. And glad I am. Much of the action takes place in October and November so it is perfect. And it works for RIP IV. I wonder what I shall read next?
On another note, I try not to think about Current Crush. I try to put things in perspective, thinking about how silly I’ve been before about others and how I will probably be silly again about someone else. But why does it seem so much more important, so much more real when you are in it right now? Why do I esteem him so much? Why do I soften so easily, have such a fondness for him now? Sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I think I could never think about him again and not even care. Other times I am so desperate to know he’s just alive. And still other times I feel content that things will work out.
But back to the book. There is nothing like reading a really good book in bed. And there is nothing like a good main character to take your mind off life. But I must get back to it. I must know how it ends.
