It is my intention to finish On The Road this weekend. I haven’t picked it up in two months (I think) and am still only halfway through. I just can’t ever find the time but it’s a three day weekend and I have been SO stressed out (so much so that I’m letting little things stress me out even more)... so I think I’ll run away to a beach and read until it’s done. And then, I’ll start another book.

So, I decided to do this some time during December but didn’t get on 43things to add it. I finally realized it wasn’t actually on my list today so here I go.

I bought the Barnes & Nobles Classics edition of Grimm’s Fairy Tales and kind of took a little visit into the book before Christmas. Of course, as habit always dictates, I stopped reading a couple days later. Today, while piddling away time in a coffee shop, I had the book with me and read about thirty pages. This is (unfortunatly) remarkable for me.

I think that I’ll try to read about 30 pages a day and coincide it with my guitar practice. It would be MUCH better for me to do this than to veg out in front of the television, which I have a tendency to do when stressed. It’s such a better outlet for emotional blue-ness. I feel productive, albeit really, really sleepy now.

(Does that happen to anyone else? The absolute sleepy feeling after reading for a while? I think thats the main reason I don’t read very often.)
