Since I was sick on the 4th, 5th, and half of the 6th of July, I read a couple of books. We have no internet/cable, so there really isn’t anything to do when you’re sick in bed except read. I think I like it, though. We have about 3847687 books I haven’t read on the shelf. This week I finished Fahrenheit 451 and Howards End. I enjoyed reading both. I realized 2 pages into Howards End that I had already read it before; however, I remembered being interested a great deal in the characters and kept going.
Both books reminded me of how I do not want to get complacent in life. This is putting it very, very simply since both books struck emotional chords that hadn’t been struck in a while. My mind has been reeling with new, yet not unfamiliar thoughts and ideas about meaning, purpose, and connectedness in life. I am going to keep these thoughts in my head and bring them out in future conversations with my husband and friends instead of expanding via Tumblr, but I just wanted to make note of something that I have been doing this summer in addition to working, playing Settlers of Catan, fixing up the house, playing with my dog/husband/friends, and watching The Bachelorette.
