I haven't read very much for "fun" . . .
… over this past year and a half. At least, not much outside of what’s been required of me for school. Then again, I also have a terrible memory, thanks to which I have trouble recalling what activities I took part in even the day before, so I could just be confused.
In the past eight months, I’ve probably read over 50 books for school. Some required by a class/teacher, some simply necessary to meet source requirements for a paper. Last quarter, I must have read a good 15 books alone about the biblical book of Jonah for a single paper. Granted, I’m pretty sure I now know everything there is to know about those two pages of the Bible. =|
That’s another book I’ve been reading a lot from lately. The Bible. A lot of it for classes (religious studies major), but on occasion I find myself reading it just for funsies. I would most definitely recommend it. The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament—sort of) in particular is beyond fascinating.
So yeah, that’s where I’m at so far as reading goes. It hasn’t been for pure pleasure in quite sometime, but at least it’s never been exactly painful.
