Summer Reading Update

Hey everyone,

So, I know I had a summer reading list of about four books which shouldn't have been that difficult to complete, but for some reason, my brain refused to focus on any of the books I wanted to finish by the end of the summer.  The denser books, anyway.  It's pretty unfortunate, but I can't say that it's been all bad.  I've still been reading.  Just, not quite what I wanted to. 

I ended up reading something much lighter and junkier.  And what have I been reading?  Something from the author of the Vampire Diaries series.  That's right, I've been reading Night World.  I'm still on the first book, and I can't say it's the best kind of read, but it is what I need right now: something junky and airy.  I guess my mind doesn't feel quite so rested from the denser reads of the school year still.  It is odd, though, because I've been so bothered by the writing that I've begun annotating and editing the book with a pencil which is something I never would have done before.  But, now, after I've finished school marking up this book feels less like a huge deal.  I don't think it will carry over to other, less junky books, though.

I really wish I could get back to the denser stuff.  I want to finish Fahrenheit 451.  I was so far through it and, now, I need to start it over because it's been so long since I last picked it up.  Hopefully, I'll be able to get back to it soon.

We'll see how it goes.  I'll keep you guys updated on the reading.

Until next time,
Dusk
