Thanks for stopping by, caffeinerd. I finished Me Talk Pretty One Day, and I loved it too!

Randomly stumbled across your blog from the “grad school” tag and just enjoyed reading a few posts. :) Just wanted to throw it out there that I definitely relate…grad school and even the undergrad years before it sucked out all my time for enjoyment reading. It’s really kind of depressing. But I loved “Me Talk Pretty One Day” (even as a Speech-Language Pathology student) and am currently trying to carve out some more time for “for fun” reading…we’ll see how it goes. Best of luck becoming a ‘current’ rather than a ‘former’ reader again.

I knowww, reading-for-fun in grad school is hard. It took me 7 full months to get through Anna Karenina. It’s a long book, but in undergrad I could get through a book that long in 2 months (well, in lit classes…when I had to…)!

Summer’s always the time when I read for fun only and as we go camping each summer I usually get a lot of reading done. If you want you could let me know what type of books you like to read and I could suggest some titles?

I wish I had more time to read, but I do miss it from high school. There are books that I read every year that I love so much, but new books always take some time to get to.

I’m getting back into that reading phase again, too. Somewhere I lost that bookworm in me, and I’m out to find it again! Baby steps, baby steps…
