Hey Ranger - Jin Burnett

I like to read more than one book at once, otherwise I get bored! I just finished the Bloop Book Club book, so I'll prob be starting another one tomorrow!

the odyssey! yay! aww, you find it boring? wow 2 months? god, does it make me a nerd for only taking a week?

well obv. i have not been reading it continuously! that would make me the slowest reader ever! I read like a chapter, and then abandon the book for a week because i don't care about the story. then i tell myself i ought to finish it, and go read another chapter etc., It's not that the plot is boring, its just that i already know the story, so reading the book isn't all "ooo what is going to happen next?".

lol, yeah i guess that's a pretty big deterrent to wanting to read a book. i knew the basic outline via my dad and oh brother where art thou, but i still wanted to read it. i'm pretty into ancient stories though. i might re-read my sophocles plays after i'm done with the iliad. i quite enjoy how descriptive of violence homer is, but perhaps my wiki'ing of serial killers is having an affect on me.
