Okay I legitimately forgot to write yesterday.

But I did read! So, I mean, although I didn't actually write anything at least I was making progress. Right? RIGHT? Thank you.

I'm only reading about 20 pages a day in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon but that's because the bookclub I formed on InsaneJournal is sort of styled around the idea that people are busy and they don't have as much time to read as they'd like. It's broken down into a chapter a day (or if the chapters are wonky and short like in this one then it's broken down into ~20 pages per day), and I kind of love it.

I've also been pushing my way through my Margaret Atwood book and I must say, what I wrote about it the last time is true. I'm much more interested in it now that the characters are written in third person. I just can't get into first person true (or, what seems true) narratives. Things like Twilight (by Stephenie Meyer) don't bother me because they're obviously fantasy, but I guess I just can't find anywhere to connect with the first person style Atwood used in the beginning that seems so real.

But anyway, I've gotten through Loulou's tales (yesterday) and the one called Uglypuss (my favorite so far!) and I've just started into Bluebeard's Egg. I'm super tired right now (at 4:35am), but I'm thinking about reading a little more before bed. This is a good sign! If I'm willing to sacrifice sleep to read a bit more, that means somebody's doing something right for me.

À tout à l'heure!
