So I've stopped reviewing the Harry Potter books. I've decided to wait until the end and them give my opinions on the series as a whole. Sound good? Great!
I have hit a wall. This is becoming a fucking second job. I don't even remember why I'm doing this. I have no idea why I thought this was a good idea. I don't want to feel this way. Reading is my go-to, my one real vice. Libraries are my church. I love the smell of old books. So maybe it's the writing part that killing me. I fucking dread finishing a book, maybe in part because it means I've got to just pick up the next and keep reading, but mostly because I have to sit down and put my thoughts on paper. Then every yahoo in the English speaking word can have a chance to ridicule and mock me. Also, it bugs me that very few of my friends, co-workers and none of my family are even checking in. I'd take a mocking from my mom on this point just to know she was even looking at this thing just once.
I really wanna throw in the towel. I'd like to give up and play some fucking Mario Kart, but I won't. I'll pick up the next book, I promise. I'm not giving up an inch of ground I've made on this. I'm six books away from the final count on my last attempt and I still have twenty five days to go. I just have to hold on, once I crest number twenty five I think I'll get excited again. I hope.

hmmm...I didn't know I was supposed to be checking in. I also didn't know you were doing reviews of what you read. I just thought you wanted to do it. Well, I think it's a great idea still and I'm glad your grinding through. Hope it gets better. Maybe you should read some old timey classic shit to cleanse the pallete.? Like Robinson Crusoe. -Brando
ReplyDeleteHey, Thanks for the support - I really was most upset that my family hadn't even bothered. I'd love to read some classics for this, but I've read a lot of them. With this I've been trying to read books I haven't read before. Once this is over - I'll probably read some. Thanks again, it means a lot.
