So many books, so little time. It's the first week of classes and already I have approximately 300 pages to read. *sigh* It's taken a while to get my ass into gear... which is also about the same length of time it takes for my books to come in the mail. Meanwhile, I still brought several books with me this time to sell and a few others that I've been meaning to read (Utopia, The Phantom of the Opera, 2 books by Ceasar Milan, The Secret of the Bees--in Spanish--, one of Jorge Luis Borges's books--also in original Spanish--, my summer splurg of Dracula, a book of Italian fairy tales, and a few others).
Generally, I read mostly romance novels for leisure reading (a topic I'm sure to expand on in other posts) but I didn't bring any with me to school so I wouldn't be tempted. Inevitably, I'll end up buying new ones anyway (Christine Feehan's latest novel comes out at the end of this month and Sherrilyn Kenyon's next Dark-Hunter novel comes out a few days after that). However, I suppose I should have planned ahead. I got my roommate hooked on Sherrilyn Kenyon's novels last year, and now she comes to me for her romance novel fix, which I've selfishly deprived her of. lol
I've also been dying to get my hands on the two latest Anita Blake novels (horror, by Laurell K. Hamilton) but that'll probably have to wait on my Christmas list. Damn. Textbooks and rent suck away all my money. Oops! Look at the time. I'd better read some Atwood before my next class.
Back to the grindstone. Back to the grindstone.
