read all the books I have before I buy another new book!

reading 2-5 pages a night. trying to work on this bits at a time. If I make to big a commitment I rebel against it so, slow and steady is my plan.

HA! Last time I was in vegas I came across and art book that was very cool. It had 1000 pieces of art from all parts of history.
Tonight I was looking on amazon and started to look for it but ! come on! I haven’t read in months. I’ve had this goal for more than a year and have only finished one book that I have and already fallen off the wagon more than once.
This goal really highlights a couple of issues that i’m trying to deal with, procrastination and piling on more shit that I have yet to deal with.
Going to read tonight.
Keep moving…

ok, so i’m in philadelphia. I go to the art musuem. I like art. I try and draw and do so with the skill of an epileptic cat but I try.
I’m at the Phildelphia Musuem of Art and in the book store to look around maybe pick something up.
I see in the half price bin a book on drawing by Thomas Eakins, called….A drawing manual by Thomas Eakins.
I saw some of his paintings in the museum and they were very good.
I’ve looked for stuff like this before but could only find books by nobodys with undetermined levels of ability. Half price. $11.
Worth it! but I choke on this goal
Whatever, today begins day one of …read all the books that I NOW have before I buy another book.
Good luck all…

I went through my bookcase and found a bunch of books I didn’t want and would not read so I donated them to good will. I culled my list and have started reading before bed.
Little by little I’ll get there.

I’m still in compliance with this thing because I picked up a book on vacation but was not charged for it. It was complementary, so I didn’t BUY it…
Ok, it’s a technicality and I should be reading what I have anyway so this is a reminder to get on it again…

I’m using the receipt as a book mark. I bought this thing in 1999 and always meant to see it through. Started my assault on it tonight. Very interesting.

DONE!
I was, am, a great fan of the movie although I only have a vague memory of it. I just finished the book and while it may seem simple, I didn’t like it that much. I did like it was very easy to read and I plowed right through it.
Moby Dick, seven years. Slaughterhouse Five, one month.
I do feel good moving ahead on one of these things. I’ve been making headway here and there but haven’t finished one damn thing!

I finished moby dick! I’ve been working on it since 2001. I picking up and put it down but since 43 things have made consistent efforts to read and now it’s done. I’m a little disappointed in it but what are you going to do.
Next up is Slaughterhouse Five. It’s not really my book but a loner a friend insisted I read.

I was at borders today and almost picked up a couple of art books, but…!!! I remembered my list…
Still working on Moby Dick, about 110 pages left.

I’m working my way through Moby Dick…I started in 2001!
After this I’ll take a look at the rest of my books. I have to have at least six yet to read. Probably more but….one step at a time
