| Day 159: Currently Reading |
I have this terrible habit of always reading a million (okay, six) books at once. This may lead you to believe that I read constantly, burning through hundreds of books within the span of a couple months. In actuality, I have only finished one measly book this year, and that was because I had a deadline (thank you, book club, for forcing me to focus). I find it nearly impossible to commit myself to one book at a time because there is so much out there that I want to read (it actually makes me feel kind of panicky sometimes, the thought that I will never in my lifetime be able to read all the books that I want to read). But this habit of reading multiple books at once is totally inefficient, especially considering the limited amount of time I have to devote to the hobby. Am I going to change? Eh, it's unlikely. Then again, you know what they say...admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a deadline to meet...Book Club Meeting #2 is only a few weeks away!
. . . . . .
Then again, maybe I'll just go outside and drink a mojito instead...
