That thing about reading

If I’m being completely honest, I’ve read one book this year. Already it’s August. And I’ve only read one. Quention Tarantino’s Cinema Speculation. Now, I had every intent on reading more. The list of started books incude:

  • In Cold Blood – Truman Capote
  • A Moveable Feast – Ernest Hemingway
  • The Art of Peace – Morihei Ueshiba
  • Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio – Pu Songling
  • The Way of Zen – Alan Watts
  • Horror in the Cinema – Ivan Butler
  • I Feel Love – Rachel Nuwer
  • The Grand Hotel – Scott Kenemore
  • Frame by Frame – Hannah Frank
  • The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – Stephen R. Covey
  • The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle – Stuart Turton

And likely a few others that I just can’t recall at this moment. I fully intend to complete all of these books. But getting there, well, that’s a challenge, isn’t it.

Of course, you make time for what’s important to you. And if reading is important to me, I’ll make time for it. Like I’ve made time for writing, and exercise, and speaking with friends and family, and a number of other things that I value.

So, sometime in the near future, I’ll have more updates on books and reading and the like. Just not today.
