I used to have a messy pile under my bed and have upgraded to a neat pile under the nightstand.
Since my after-school book clubs officially wrapped last week, I went to the library without any plans and just pulled things off the shelf. It was nice not to have scheduled reading for a time. I didn't even consult my sacred list.
I came home with two Agathan Cristie's (which always make me happy), something called THE TEXIANS,a Margaret Atwood, and two Kimberly Willis Holts.
No scheduled reading... I wouldn't even know where to begin! I'd probably wander aimlessly from library to book store, back to library.
That's a bit how I felt when my thesis semester started and I no longer had a literature class. All of a sudden I had all this reading time and I couldn't get myself to focus long enough to finish any one book. I was totally discombobulated. Then my fabulous adviser gave me a reading list and I was all myself again. Now I have my trusty queue.
