But yeah, it can be tough balancing books and school-work, definately if you have a free minute, whip out your book. This sounds dumb, but I always have my book on me just in case I have an unexpected wait or some free time.


although, right now, i haven't been reading at all. i'm just to tired, or only have time for a shower.

i would always try to read in between classes if i had to wait..always bring my book with me just in case..i would also read if a bunch of us got together at my boyfriend's apartment to watch the Phillies games..i would read and watch the game at the same time. lol..it didn't matter because normally i was one of the only girls there.


At night, when I have the homework done, I usually read until fall asleep.

Mine are in no particular order:
Wuthering Heights
The Omnivore's Dilemma

That's pretty much where I am. In the past week-ish, I've finished 3 books. I'd say my sanity is more important than some of these classes I'm taking.

Here is my list.
Finsish:
Anna Karenina
The Handmaid's Tale
Start:
Blackbird House
Nocturnes
Midwives
World Without End
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
The Lost Symbol
The Chronicles of Narnia
Yeah I have alot of work ahead of me!
Personally, I have to make a choice between homework (the less important stuff) and reading in order to get any reading done. Or else I show up really early for class and read in the hallway, but that's not really quality reading. I'm really wanting to incorporate more reading into my life, but I hate having to schedule it (it's like those couples who are having fertility issues and have to schedule sex--it's supposed to be enjoyable, but eventually becomes a chore) or purposely not do something else.
