I really feel bad. And this is embarassing, because I'm going to sound arrogant.

How on earth can people feel proud of only reading a book a week, or less, even? I can read a book just going to class, and another coming home. It's a sad week when I don't manage to read even one book. High school, I would take out six books from the library at once, return all six within two days. That's not counting the books they gave me, and the ones I read while in the library during lunch. Is it normal to read so little? Is it that people read slowly, or that they have other things to do? I don't get it.

I feel weird now. Like the freak here.

Well, I did tell you not to click. Don't blame me.

It's just a question of priorities. I completed one book in 2004. I started many, but I only completed one. I lose interest quickly. Plus, I was planning a wedding and honeymoon and writing a play. Photography and LJ do take up a good deal of my time. I like it that way. Reading is good to a certain age, then one must start living or remain stuck in a previous stage. There is always time to read, in moderation, but Life takes over.

I'm the same way... I'll start books quite frequently, but my attention wanders and I'm lucky to ever finish them!

Yes, I think I'm reading about 30 books right now, if we want to call this "reading" them. I'll finish them someday, maybe.
