I was chatting with my very observant and astute friend about how I WAS worried about finishing this project, but how NOW things seem fine because I have all the way until July and I am already at 40 books. Lucky for me (sarcasm), my friend pointed out that that meant I HAVE to read 10 books a month now. I don't know why I was thinking my timing was going so well, originally I had planned to read 10 a month, but that put me way over 100 at 120, so as I got behind, in my head, I was still ahead. But now, of course it makes sense that at 20 behind my original schedule, that actually makes me on schedule to read 10 a month from here on out. Crap.

So this means that I have to read more than one book at a time again. It wouldn't be such a time issue if I would stick to skinny books, but alas, that does not make me feel good about myself. So yes, I may be reading 5 500+ page books all at once, but I do tend to finish more books in a timely fashion that way. And odd as it may seem, it turns out that I read more while I am in school than on break. this is all thanks to the bus system, and long breaks between classes. When I am on break I feel that catching up on my dvd's, learning how to make borscht, and finally painting that ugly bookcase much more pressing.

Middlesex is still my main book; it is beautifully written. I am so stoked that I have been reading such good books all of a sudden.
