Not hardcore enough to be ultra nerdy, but it's not that shallow, either. |
Yes, I actually finished my book goals for this year. I'm actually kind of surprised. The rest has not been going so well, but I think it's because movies and TV require larger chunks of time taken all at once. (Plus, there are a ton of documentaries in my Netflix queue that are screaming for my attention, and those tend to be easier for me to watch.) Books, meanwhile, can be read during my lunch break, so I'm guaranteed a half hour or more of reading time five times a week. While I'd love to get started on Alas, Babylon (I may have a hard on for nuclear holocaust classics), there's a monster of a book called The Israel Lobby that I have put off for entirely too long. That discussion is more appropriate for my other journal, though. While I'm here, you should check out this group if you haven't already.
Maybe next year after the wedding I'll be brave enough to volunteer as a guest editor. Like I said, after the wedding. The above book actually gave me an idea, but it needs to percolate before I can even begin the research on it. Yeah, I'm kind of hardcore. Let's all think about how much I don't care. |
