Books and such

[yuuago]

Man, I am such a flake when it comes to reading books that I actually own. Like, I buy books. And then I don't read them? And then I go take out five books from the library instead of reading the books I have at home? ???? WHY. This is silly.

I've been going through the books in my room - my bookshelf is tiny and can't hold even half of them, so most of them end up in boxes or piles - and... there are so many, and all of them look interesting, why I haven't I read these?

And then I realized that it's because a lot of them are kind of, well, heavy or difficult nonfiction. Most of the ones that I haven't touched are military history, mainly WWI-centric stuff, etc. Depressing (though interesting) subject, sometimes rather dense text. And then there's the one about the Great Northern War that I started reading but had to stop because some of the accounts of the things that happened were so disturbing. (I am a delicate flower. ;p ;p ;p )

Point is, most of them are not exactly ideal bus stop reads. And since I do most of my reading either while riding the bus or waiting for it, well....

BUT I really should make a point to read all of these. And cull the ones that I can't get into for whatever reason. Starting today. :D

Probably won't end up taking most of them on the transit, though. ;p At-home reading it is! Which isn't such a bad thing, really, more time reading = less time looking at a computer screen. Probably a lot better for my eyes, I'd think.
