I think I need to set aside more than just train time for reading… there are so many books I want to read! I’m already planning three ahead of the one I’m reading now! I guess the thing about this time of year is it’s the worst for sitting outside and reading (one of my favorite summertime pastimes), and I don’t really have a great place in my apartment to just curl up with a book. Maybe I should get back in the Bean habit? Though it seems that whenever I’m there and in the mood to linger, there isn’t a seat to be had. I’ll figure it out.

In the meantime… Now reading (almost finished, though): Ender’s Game

On deck: Ender’s Shadow (Technically the 5th book in the series? I don’t think I’ve ever read them in “proper” order.)

Further reading that I can’t wait to sink my teeth into: The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Though I also kinda want to get this edition and that’s not ‘til May, so maybe I should shelve – har har har - this one for now) & Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (because the movie was excellent.)

So apparently I’m on an Ender Bender and then a “Benedict Cumberbatch Plays Someone in This Book in a Television or Movie Adaptation” theme. Cool!

Currently Reading: The Outsiders This book is so legit. I’m also just plain glad to see that there’s at least one revered coming-of-age novel that isn’t a total piece of baloney (see: Catcher in the Rye).

Currently Reading: French Women Don’t Get Fat. It’s pretty good, and I’m expecting hella enlightenment headed my way in these pages.

Currently Reading: Cupcake, by Rachel Cohn The third book in the Gingerbread series, this is the only one I do not own (see: library barcode) and so this is probably only my third or fourth time through, as opposed to the well-worn pages of my copy of Gingerbread. Anyway, it’s wicked good and is making be all apprehensive/excited about my upcoming move to NYC.
