Where have I been?

I think it has been two months to the day since my last post and I would apologize if I had any sort of following, but seeing as this book club was sort of a self motivating pressure for me to read the classics, I will keep my apology to myself fairly short.  Sorry, me. That's pretty short right?  What have I been doing the past 2 months, you may be wondering?  Well, about 50% into the Tempest I got busy with various life things but mostly I had a bad case of classic literature burn out.  I think a lot of it has to do with the miserably hot weather.  Each night, which is my traditional reading time I would look at the Tempest and think "That is the absolute last thing in the world I want to look at for any reason whatsoever."  I found that I was avoiding reading in general just to avoid reading THAT.  Was it that bad?  Honestly, no. I thought it was an alright read, It just seemed like work after a while.  After about a few weeks of avoiding that, I decided that I should at least read something I enjoy.  So, I have spent the last month or so, knocking out some fun fantasy novels just to keep myself happy and entertained. 

Now, the good news is that my interest in literature has not passed on, I still have the drive to read them.  But I will put them on hold until sometime in the Fall when I will either pick up exactly where I left off, or I will rebuild the book list to suit my mood.  It should not be too far off actually, I caught myself eyeballing  my classics a few days ago ( Hence this blog posting ).  So, until then, I will continue with my mental vacation filled with High fantasy, Sci-fi, and other nerdy goodness until may brain is ready to tackle another wave of classics.

Thanks all!
