i finished reading a book. why is this significant? i'll tell you why. it's been like the desert around here. i haven't finished a book in god knows how long. i didn't even finish the books i was supposed to read for school.
and now that i've gotten that one hurdle out of the way i feel a whole lot better.

it was water for elephants and before you say anything about 'oh i wonder why you're reading that book' i'd like to say that for once, you're right. i read it solely because they were making it into a movie and robert pattinson was to star in it. and it was a heather's pick-- like oprah book club but infinitely cooler since it's not oprah-- and i tend to gravitate to those books of 'critical praise and acclaim' anyhow.

i've moved on to rules of attraction by brian easton ellis. i have yet to finish on the road by jack kerouac (and if you don't know, i'm reading this book for the exact reason as i was reading water for elephants except replace robert pattinson with kristen stewart. i'm pathetic, i know this, don't point it out).  it's alarming how many books in the stack in my room have been made, or will be made, into movies. i've got up in the air, fight club and the great gatsby on my 'to read' list. as well as the room, high fidelity, juliette, naked, and scores of other novels i have yet to get my greedy little hands on. i really wanted to get into the girl with the dragon tattoo series, but those books intimidate me 'cos they're so thick. anything over 450 pages it's doubtful i'll follow through and read the whole thing.
but i'm still proud of myself for finishing a book that wasn't a young adult fiction (hunger games... i'm looking at you). but the pile never diminishes.

some people have a shoe fetish (which i also have), some people have a clothing fetish (again, guilty). i have a book problem. i can't walk into chapters and walk out empty handed. i feel bereft if i don't purchase some inspiring piece of literature.

i should've made a resolution not to buy any more gdamn books. i probably would've broken it before my birthday in march, but still... to hold off that long without getting a book? insanity.

b; old enough to know better; attached.
college student of historical events, future educator. canadienne. i like to read, but i don't do it enough. i run. i like zombies. i'm obsessed with all things batman, except not batfleck. i'm a terrible video game player, but i'm getting better through attrition. i can play piano pretty good, though. the sound of city streets soothes me, but i love the silence of the forest. curious stargazer.
