Finished the book on cortez in mexico and a short book on the indian god Ganesh.
Working on the bible, again but it’s such a slog I’m mixing in another book to clean the pallete. A book by Thomas Eakins about drawing. That will be great…I hope…
I’m still working on this.
It feels good to make progress and see some results 6 months ago

I’m currently working on reading a lot of books I have that I haven’t read before so that I can either trade them in for “new” books or sell them online. (Killing 2 birds with one stone.) 7 months ago

I made a short list of books that I own and want to read during coming summer holidays :) I often complain that I have nothing to read but when I have there’s no time for that. Eh.
~ The Hobbit or There and Back Again – I got this book from my classmate when I was in primary school. I started to read it but later I had something to do and I stopped in the middle. It was YEARS ago so I don’t even remember the plot. Drama.
~ The Chronicles of Narnia – 7 volumes that I got from my Mom :) I read the first two and started to read the third one. Again, I had to learn at school and I had no free time so I stopped.
~ Stephen King’s books:
- Full Dark, No Stars (I got it from my friend for Christmas)
- Nightmares and Dreamscapes
- Under The Dome
- Desperation
- Insomnia
- Rose Madder (I read 1/4)
- Regulators 14 months ago

For Christmas everybody bought me books. Birthday coming up soon. At least increasingly moving to Kindle is helping the storage problems. 17 months ago

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… 20 months ago

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… 2 years ago
