Booksnobbery

I am grateful; I chisel through two book chapters, not a chore, but a peaceful exercise. This book is not chasing me through its bulk, keeping me up nights like an itch, tactically planting agonizing devices of suspense. It knows I don't want to be anesthetized; at least not today. Instead I want to learn a new language; to see my own world as new.

I'm doing similar reading...it's like doing an unpleasant physical task, the reward is the pride you feel after you've finished.
