The end of the semester is getting closer, and I'm starting to feel the pressure to buckle down with schoolwork. Procrastinator that I am, this means I stress myself out for several more weeks and then work hard to break out some final projects at the last minute. Between the end-of-semester rush and hitting the midway point on a marathon training schedule, I have not had much time to read anything worthwhile.
That being said, I have squeezed in some non-worthwhile reading. I have been downloading free e-books to my Kindle, cranking up the font size, and running for what feels like hours some days. Mostly I read romances, and for the record, the romance novels you can get for free are not necessarily top of the line.
My other recent "reader fail" is Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. I checked this book out in the summer, and would make significant progress in small chunks of time. I couldn't face circulation again to renew, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will have some time to pick it back up over the holidays. For those of you unfamiliar with Infinite Jest, take it from me, this book is a monster. It's crazy long and Wallace uses endnotes throughout--I got a great forearm workout flipping back and forth!
