Take a Look, It's in a Book.

Today, I reverted back to my sixth-grade self. I brought a book to school and read in between classes. No socializing, just reading and turn-paging.

In sixth-grade I discovered the Harry Potter series. I read the first three books in a month. I was by no means an anti-social child. However, I can detest to the fact that it was this school year and this particular series that turned my already love for books into a temporary, somewhat unhealthy, obsession. These bounded beings consumed some of the most precious social moments a middle schooler has. Bus #417 ride. Homebase (Homeroom). The locker room before P.E. commenced. Lunch (well I multi-tasked during this one...eat, read, talk). Going off an estimate, I continued to read two/three books a month for the remainder of the year. I was enthralled.

The book in hand today: A Walk in the Woods. Billy Bryson
Current Thoughts: engaging, has pathos, logos, and ethos appeal, beautifully written.
Current Irk: Last night, while reading, I was disappointed to discover that Bill Bryson did not, in fact, hike the AT in its entirety. When I began the novel, I thought this to be so. Imagine the bummage that now fills my soul.
Current Hope(s): Bryson and Katz don't get into a car EVER again in an attempt to skip parts of the trail...for my sake. Also, that the book remains wonderful, regardless of the sad truth I uncovered.
