Put it Down
For everyone waiting with baited breath, I have updated my about page. There are a few changes I was excited to make, like the addition of some new books and a brief announcement about the job, but there was one change that was made with a good deal of shame--the strike through Ann Lauterbach's If in Time. This collection was something that I had come across late one night on Amazon that seemed interesting. I have never been a particularly avid reader of poetry but I do enjoy it and thought it might be time to get back into the game. I thought nothing of it for another couple of months but then to my surprise, I received a copy as a present (thanks again Tessa). I was anxious to dig in.
To make a long story short, what began as excitement became half-hearted determination, confusion and eventually frustration. I realized that it was time to put the book down. After all, if you're taking nothing from the reading, there's no need to continue. So it's back up on the shelf awaiting the day when my ambition to read it has rebuilt. Perhaps I'll just take it one bit at a time and not try to overwhelm myself with the whole thing. Maybe I need to regress to more remedial material. I'm sure those Dr. Seuss books are around here somewhere...
