I think I need this made into a bumper sticker. Or perhaps a forehead sticker.
I am a crabby jerk when I am in the midst of a long book I like but can't take time out to binge on. Irritable and snappish. It's not anyone else's fault that
- the book is 1,000 pages.
- it came late.
- I can't hold the monstrous thing while exercising for three hours.
- I'm being responsible right now and doing work first before I play.
It's probably best that I pace myself. I should string out the joy of this first read because I will likely be waiting at least two years for the next/final chapter. I should let myself be happy that I'm being responsible and doing this in small bits in moderation in tandem with other things that really need to be done. I should.
But I don't. Sigh.

Well, *I* think it's perfectly reasonable to be unreasonable about books.

I love this one! Now if only it could be mounted like a hamster wheel, I could use it for exercise and not worry about any books falling out . . .
ReplyDeleteI generally am against buying books, but I might buy this one for the Kindle simply because it's easier to carry around. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely lighter. This book is heavy in a physics-defying sort of way . . . :)
