reading

I just read Neuromancer, straight up, three hours on a plane.

I can't tell if I liked it or not.

But let me tell you this: it was not a book I read because I enjoyed reading it. I kept catching myself looking at the page numbers, wondering when it would be over.

I need a book that I can read without ever worrying about "Goddamn it, one hour and I am only 100 pages in."
I need a book that makes me want to read. All of the nerdy books I've been recommended have been page turners only because I am trying to up my reading speed again. That is always a bad sign when I'm reading. If I am only paying attention to see how much faster I can finish it, then there is no point in reading that book.

I'll probably read the first two WoT and give up. That's all I can promise.
Then, I'll spend the rest of break on Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller and Jonathan Safran Foer. I crave Cat's Cradle like you don't even know.
