Reading

I am so, so glad I started reading again. Since I began a few days ago, I reach for the Kindle every chance I get. I've made started a list of things to be read over the summer and while E is gone and I don't think I've watched television but for maybe an hour the entire week.

I had forgotten what it was like to fall in love with a character and be so completely immersed in their world that I forget about my own. I forgot what it was like to fantasize about far away places and people I don't know, or rather, don't really exist except for the brief time they come alive in my imagination.

The only thing I'm trying to get used to is figuring out how "big" a book really is. Seeing that I'm 85% done isn't quite as satisfying as holding a hard back in my hands and visualizing progress. According to Steven I can simply google the book, find out the page number and then do some insane proportional math, but that's a bit too much for me. I guess I'll stick to guessing.

I love this feeling of having been reading. It's so refreshing.

I don't feel quite so alone at the moment, the pages are filled with the best kinds of friends and lovers.
