Reading is fun!

..just wish I had time to do it more often.

So..I have decided to document my literary accomplishments here. I managed to read up to page 132 in the first book of the Wheel of Time series.

Heard a lot of people talking about it, raving about it, referencing it, etc, decided I might as well step up and finally read it myself.

Of course, this was just because our local library didn't have the second book of 'Earth's Children' (aka Clan of the Cave Bear series) available at the time.

The library does have this wonderful system that you can request books, they get it from another branch and you go get it!

So..while the man has since read, the second book (Valley of Horses), and read the 11th book in the Wheel of Time series (even though it is a prequel), I am still at...page...132.

Somehow I think The Valley of Horses will have to be returned for others to enjoy, then rerequested in the weeks, months, or years..that it will take me to finish my current book.

I could read this book rather easily, forgoing sleep, food and family time, but..as a concientious mother I had to attempt the 'reading until 4am because it is the only time I have to read' ploy. Hmm...not going to do that again I think. Didn't work out so well.

So..it is now 12am..and I have my book and I am debating 'To Read or Not to Read?' that is the question, to which the answer will determine my wakefulness tomorrow.

Status: Wheel of Time series - Book 1 (The Eye of the World) - Page 132/657 (Not including the Glossary)

~*blink* What the heck?!? It has a glossary??!!?~
