When I was a child, I took piano lessons for a year and hated it. I complained about going every day (week?) and eventually my parents let me quit. This summer, I got out my old piano books again, and I’m trying to teach myself to play. I definitely enjoy teaching myself a lot more than being instructed, and it’s a lot more fun when I’m not being forced to do it! I’ll probably never be very good, but I’m just doing it to have fun, so that’s all that matters. (: I’ve been practicing almost every day and I’ve seen a lot of improvement already.

Finished A Wolf at the Door, Choke (even though it wasn’t on my original list either – I wanted to read something by Palahniuk before he came to Atlanta), and Emma! Now I’m on to A Clockwork Orange.
Progress!

Finished Lamb (pretty good…funny), Stardust (cute), and Maurice (excellent!). I just bought the new Augusten Burroughs book, so I’m going to read that before continuing on with my list. (:
