On Reading

Me and reading have an interesting relationship. It's an on again - off again kind of thing that seems to require the perfect book or situation to work. I read two or three at the beginning of this year but started to feel guilty because I should have been reading study material for the LARE exam. There is still more that I should be reading but i'm at that lull between needing to study and NEEDING to study.... I am currently about 30 pages or so in to 4 or 5 books (that i don't know that I am going to continue with) and I am actually contemplating buying another one.

Maybe I just lose interest. Maybe my apartment is just not quiet enough. Maybe it is the T.V. Maybe I just have a really short attention span. Maybe I have too many social obligations. Maybe I just like going to the bookstore and buying books without the intention of reading them.

Oh, well, i'm going to see how this works out. Funny enough, the last girl who rented me a car suggested Ayn Rand's master work "The Fountainhead" which is freaking 752 pages. Let's hope that it catches my attention enough in the first 30 pages to keep me going on.
