Reading...For Fun?

I know it may be wrong of me, and downright selfish, but I didn't do the reading for one of my classes this week. Part of it was the thought I'd be watching the movie (but then missed the showing), part of it was the instructor telling us to avoid the book if possible and watch the movie/play instead, and the final part was that I didn't want to

I'm very sad to say that I rarely ever read for fun anymore, except sometimes in summer or over winter break. The idea is preposterous at times, because that is the reason I'm a creative writing major. I absolutely love to read, loved it since I was a kid. I used to check out 10-20 books at a time at the library and gobble them during recess, on the bus ride, on the weekend. I don't anymore. I keep telling myself after I graduate I'll have time to read for fun again and I hope it's true. What we read for creative writing is my saving grace right now; it has become the only thing I read for fun.

That is so sad!

I'm sorry to hear you and books are spending some time apart... At the same time, thank you for responding! It's really nice to see that people do, actually read this journal. I hope you can enjoy as many books as you can carry once school is done! (Maybe even before the graduation date)
