it took me 12 hours to read ‘harry potter and the deathly hollows’ today. i was bound and determined to finish it before returning to work tomorrow morning as i know a co-worker will be chomping at the bit to talk about it.
poor christopher was a potter widower through most of it. i took breaks just short enough to eat dinner with him and be of no help whatsoever in his trying to match my progress in ‘super paper mario world’. i felt more than a little bad about abandoning him so, but really… sometimes you just gotta read.
yeah, that was fun. i haven’t read a book in a day in a very, very, very long time. usually, i’m lucky to get through a book in three months of lunch-time reading. i miss the good old days of reading ALL. THE. TIME. audiobooks are starting helping fill that gap for me, i’ve found. in the last few months i’ve listened to the ‘eragon’ books and ‘wuthering heights’ on my mp3 player and i have a queue of several more taking up space on my external drive just waiting for me to get a-listening. a friend recently pointed me towards librivox and i can’t wait to dive into that catalogue. yum!
Nice – I finished it too, and Chris did much of the same; tried to otherwise occupy himself while I held my nose in the book all day. He’s somewhat used to me sitting doing nothing this week, though, since I sprained my ankle. I see lots of reading in my future :)
dude, I’m not kidding… I sprained my elbow sitting and reading that book!
