I'm late with my blog this week. I just couldn't think of anything to talk about.So I was thinking about reading. I go though times when I can't get enough books to consume. I have a quota to get to for my ubbt. requirements, but I wasn't counting the fictions I like to escape with. I have three autobiographies , three quarters finished laying around that I can't seem to concentrate on long enough to get through. It's not that they are not worth while, its just that the reality of life is sometimes enough and I find it hard to add someone else's reality on top of my own. Fiction is a little like escapism or watching a good movie. A mini vacation if you like. Anyway if I count all the books I've read I would be well over the amount I need, but otherwise I still have half to go, talk to you all soon

Yeah, I woulda doubled the quota by now, if I took that specific challenge and if fiction counted. But, think if it this way- any book flexes your brain, and builds synapses (I'm getting technical, I know). So don't feel guilty about the books you enjoy. I don't!

Beautifully stated... I totally get what your expressing.
