Just finished Fool Moon. I will now proceed to be post-book irritated and snappy.
Curse you, books, and how lonely I feel when I am done!!

Oh you won't be lonely when you work in a library next time Cen? Thousands of them to keep you company, not to mention the e-sources.

DP: Also why I quit too much fiction reading. You feel like you're friends with the characters, and BAM it all ends. Akin to a breakup if we take it to extremes.

Except this is probably the first fiction I have been reading in half a year. It's amusing how little you get to read, when you are at school... And of course I left the next book at home, so I either have to continue the lost symbol, or go about being annoyed for a while.

I just miss the adventure. Being sucked into the story and stay there. I guess it could be considered becoming friends with the characters, or at least developing some kind of kinship, but right now I just... don't want to be here, in reality, where is is cold and raining.
I would rather be in Chicago where it is cold and raining and werewolves are killing people...

Or rather, how little you read which agrees with you. I hate reading thick sets of notes at a go and then revising it three times for three tests in the year.

I guess there are e-versions of the book if you really are desperate, but I hate reading online since it feels all artificial to me, and anyway, I'd rather break my sanity than the draconian internet laws here. If I knew my librarians were all so nutty, I wouldn't have stepped within a ten mile radius of that place.

I have never been much of a reader of facts. Or, well, that isn't true. Rather, when I got the taste of fiction, it tasted so much better than the facts. Even more so, when that is all I can read... Scientific research, theories...
When all I want to do is practice my escapism.

But I might get the chance to get some of this back during the intern ship. Might have school on the side, but I should have more time for... me-time.

As for e-books... Not my fiction. I am a traditionalist when it comes to fiction, it should stay book based.

I tried reading those in first grade (I know recipe for disaster) until I got bored halfway through the first and understood about 1/3 of it. Then I tried again in 5th or 6th grade and I got to the Return of the King, which then I got bored of them again and I stopped, since then I forgot about them for a long time. I think I might read it now thanks to you.
