Book Withdrawal

So, I haven't picked up a book that didn't end in -ology since getting off the plane from my trip to Europe. My class readings have taken over my life - as have the always arriving piles of magazines.

Last week, however, I read an entire book from cover to cover in one evening. I was going to the Frames concert at the Vic and wanted to get there as soon as doors open. Since I was going alone, this meant that I would be standing by myself for an hour before music started. I brought the thinnest book I had, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

I like to read in all situations - walking down the street, stopped at long street lights, standing in front of the stage at a rock concert... I'm used to getting strange looks for this. Hey, I have a short attention span, what can I say!

Anyway, I braved the strange looks and read the crap out of my book. It was the first thing I've read by RL Stevenson and I enjoyed it. It felt good to read again. I'm looking forward to my short winter break - I'm going to try and read like a crazy person.
