*5h04*

fack...that's the time i woke up this saturday morning. all week i look forward to sleeping in on sat mornings and normally - i end up waking up earlier than a weekday. maybe i'm just getting older. it's sick, i used to come home at around 4-5am now i'm waking up at that hour.

last night was super relaxed fun. dinner with a friend. we go way back. then i came home to read a book from cover to cover. yes i am a freak speed-reader.

book binge

This is my style - I get on a reading kick - I buy like 5 books and start them all at the same time because I have A.D.D. I read like a mad-woman for an entire month then I get bored of reading. With only 50 pages left in each one of the 5 books, I just give up. Then 4 months later, I start another reading kick and buy more books and start them all at the same time.

I have had friends/family/acquaintances who try to argue/cajole/reason with me. "50 pages, you could read that in 20 mins and then just finish the book!! DO IT! just DO IT!!" I rarely finish books I start...WHY?? Who knows - I just get bored.

If I finish a book - there are only a few reasons:
a) so good - changed my life (ex: biography on Zelda Fitzgerald)
b) so scandalous/mindless (ex: those shopaholic books - can you even call that reading??)
c) so beautiful and complete, the words and NOT the story inspire me till the end

so there you have it - the verbal diahrea of a sleep-challenged individual.
