ADD

I really do have book ADD right now. I am still trudging through the books I started, but I needed something different. I went to the library (I have been too ashamed after my delinquent $16 from Christmas break) and I browsed around for hours. I forgot how simple and wonderful it felt to walk down rows and rows of books and know I could take anyone of them home. When I was about 11, I used to ride my bike to the library, and like a true OCD kid, I would start at the first book on a shelf and read all the way to the last book on the shelf. I think this is why I read an abnormal amount of historical fiction. Evidently that was the shelf of choice that summer. Nowadays, I usual know exactly which books I want to read and which ones I don't, but it is nice sometimes to just let myself be drawn to the books. Hopefully I am inspired now.
