Progress

Okay, I am a little behind where I wanted to be already, but I did make some progress. The Pilgrimage got way too hippie mystical for my taste, thus slowing me down. But I have soldiered through and will be finished tonight. Tomorrow morning I will announce book 2.

Today was rough, I have realized that some days I may not feel like reading. Also I remembered reading once that it is better to know 1 book intimately than many fleetingly. Maybe I am not paying these books the respect they deserve. I will keep all this in mind. It is important that I enjoy, learn and absorb some of the books I read.

Everything in our surroundings reflected an uneasy peace, the peace of a world that was still in the process of growing and being created- a world that seemed to know that, in order to grow, it had to continue moving along, always moving along. Great earthquakes and killer storms might make nature seem cruel, but I could see that these were just the vicissitudes of being on the road. Nature itself journeyed, seeking illumination. The Pilgrimage

I went to a used bookstore tonight and stocked up for the weeks ahead, suggestions are welcome but keep in mind, I have many reasons for not choosing to read certain books. (length, already read, etc..)
