As a part of my blog I like to still have a "journaling" section, if you will, so here is another "entry".
Today I have decided to begin to finish all of the books that I have "half read". I have always had the problem of having too many ideas and too many directions, there have been times I have seriously thought of Veterinary school, Fashion Design, Psychology, Photography as a possible careers, I am still finding where I should be. The same thing applies to my "literary" life, I have begun many books only to put them down for others, e.g: Pride and Prejudice, there is a book many of my friends think that I would love, I don't know why, but though many of my girlfriends gush at the thought of Mr Darcy and Elizabeth, I still want to say "get on with it already!!!"
I am not saying, by any means, that Pride and Prejudice is a bad novel, it reminds me much of Dickens Pickwick Papers, very enjoyable for a day at the beach to get lost in, but when I am on the bus or in my Papasan chair after a long day of work and school I like to read drama, Death of a Salesman, Long Days journey into night, Tomorrow will be Better etc.
So today I have vowed to finish the list of books I have begun and finish them, if I can get through Lolita, I believe I can get through anything. (No offense to lovers of Nabokov, I just thought it was odd and unnecessary)
