Summer Reading

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

In a past life, I wanted to be a fiction writer, but for now I’ve settled for reading fiction by other people. I find it difficult to read for pleasure during the school year because my mind usually wanders off to unfinished problem sets, but I try to make up for it during the summer. Usually I really get into reading at the beach, where I am free from any sort of technology that might tempt me into reading RSS feeds instead of books. I’ve been trying to get into reading again this summer, but I think I made a mistake by starting with The Fountainhead . I like the book, but it feels heavy and slow and I haven’t been drawn into it yet. Maybe after a few more chapters?
