Addicted...to reading?

Right...i'm addicted to reading. i hadn't realized exactly how much i spent my free time reading until i got back from boston in may. we came home and my dad says to my mom, "all she did on the plane was read!" my poor dad. i was in the middle of THE TWO TOWERS when we were heading home from boston and i couldn't put the darn thing down, even to chat with him for an hour or two on the 6-7 hour long journey. let's see, i started reading (for leisure) right after graduation in 2000. i read THE CIDER HOUSE RULES while i was in DC (on the subway to and from work), then i started SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS, which despite Zandro's inquiry is NOT the sequel to CIDER HOUSE RULES; then BLACKHAWK DOWN, then came HARRY POTTER books 1 & 2, then i ATTEMPTED to read THE SUM OF ALL FEARS and put it down for a 3rd time when i started getting all confused. 3 years worth of history and poli sci classes at irvine couldn't help me with this thing but i'll pick it up again soon when my mind has really cleared hopefully. then at iya's urging i finally read CHOCOLAT, then LOVELY BONES (which was written by my Fiction teacher at irvine, alice sebold. she was interviewed by diane sawyer on GOOD MORNING AMERICA, thank you very much). then i read HARRY POTTER book 3 which was WOH a lot of information. and right after that i read HARRY POTTER book 4. after that i started the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and now here i am, HARRY POTTER book 5. i freakin' read 200 pages yesterday!!!! it was a great rest day...on LABOR DAY, ironically.

i wanted to get an entry in before my fave show QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY came on. it's on in 15 min so i gotta motor. until next time, remember, DON'T MATCH...COORDINATE!
