books!

I realized this week that I miss reading. As a seminary student, I have my fair share of reading, don't get me wrong. And like a true dork, I enjoy theological reading (though not all of my textbooks this semester engage me...)

However, I have realized that as an English major, I was spoiled by my continual immersion into literature. Yes, it was work to read and analyze and write about all those books. But man, I read some good stuff. And I've been missing it, to the point where when I'm really bored I resort to reading fan fic online for various things (which is an interesting cultural study, but not exactly what you would call great writing). So I dug out the old library card, put a few books on hold, and early next week will be able to work through some fictional books again. Inspired by a good friend, I have compiled a list of books and authors that I want to pursue, though my rate of reading will vary depending on my work load.

I am a true English nerd. ;o)

In other news...I have a confession to make.

I watched Grey's Anatomy with a bunch of girls on Thursday. And maybe kinda sorta liked the show. Yeah, that's not like me, is it?! Watching something popular, especially something that girly and soap opera-ish. But I definitely liked the social aspect and the opportunity to get to know them more (apparently they get together every week). So, yay for that! Stay tuned for whether I become addicted to the show...
