Books

Since August 8, 2008

I want to keep track of how many books I read between now and when I graduate. I'm kind of stealing the idea from Natasha. I don't really want to set a goal for myself though because I always seem to set my reading goals too high and then get disappointed. Plus who knows how much time I'll have for reading once the school year

Yay! Jenni is keeping track of what she's reading just like me. I set my goal ridiculously low and then surpassed it and got to feel good about myself! You should do that, be like, "I'm going to read 3 books this year".

Haha no...I'm going to read...drum roll please....5 books this year! =D

What was your original goal, anyways?

I love seeing reading lists!

Mine is ridiculously short because I can't remember everything I read when I was younger. When I got into college, I barely read for pleasure. Sad! I was so burned out from reading countless academic journal articles. Now, I have started listening to audiobooks more than reading. (I loved reading, but my disability fucked that up. Super sad!) But I certainly do love audiobooks! My (partial) reading list: http://www.shelfari.com/chariqy/shelf

Dude, I have hella David Sedaris audiobooks! And yes, they're read by David Sedaris himself! HIlarious!!! I'd be happy to burn them to CD and send them to you. (Of course, you'd have to privately send me your address. Don't worry! I don't stalk people... much! haha) Let me know if you're interested, k?

How come FA affects reading? Does it makes it difficult to hold on to books or something?

Somehow... I've never been fond of audiobooks. I can't focus if I'm just being talked at, which is basically what an audiobook is. I have to look at something.

I don't know if I'm a huge fan of David Sedaris. I read one of his books, and it was ok, but it didn't thrill me. I actually have a number of his books just because my friend moved away to college and was trying to get rid of his books. Eventually I'll get around to trying another one of his books though, and maybe I'll like that one better than the one I read before...

Stalking people is fun! =) Haha how creepy is that?

Hey Jenni, it's Hallie from Smith! Be LJ friends?

[craziness295]

Okie dokie =) Be warned though, my LJ is rather unhappy-sounding. I almost always post it in when I'm upset and almost never post it in when I'm happy =P
