(no subject)

Ok, so one of the things I did during parents' weekend was go to Barnes and Noble and my parents bought me a lot of books (7, in fact). And I thought those books would last me like a year (well at least a couple months, considering how often I've been reading books recently), especially since I was in the middle of a book I didn't really care much about. But somehow, since Friday, I've finished The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde (which I had about half to go through, and by the way, is decent, but not anything special, in my opinion) and read all of Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay (good, but not better than the show), Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes (absolutely amazing, but also rather depressing), and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card (very good, and I need to read more in this series). The thing is, this was a really bad time for me to get into a mood where all I want to do is read books, seeing as I have a good amount of tests and that midterm paper in these two weeks. I need to spend my free time making flashcards and outlining the paper and finding sources, and instead I'm reading. sigh. I need to stop, but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to end up picking up another book after this.

Oh, and ( spoilers for last night's episode of Prison Break )

Um, what else? Basically all I've been doing for the past few days has been reading, doing schoolwork, and watching television. I lead a very exciting life.
