The Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice. Vampires make me hot.

Now I've been trying to divide reading time amongst my nine books in a scheduled manner (my Ti taking control of my Ne, or something). I'm doing this by eliminating three of the least relevant books from my reading (The Theory of Algebraic Numbers, After Virtue, Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals), and categorizing the remaining six in terms of size. In the “large” category I've placed Basic Writings of Nietzsche, Critique of Pure Reason, and The History of Western Philosophy – each one is between 700 to 800 pages long. In the “medium” category (300 or so pages) I've placed The Hobbit. Relativity and On the Shortness of Life both belong to the “small” category, the former being about 200 pages in length and the latter consisting of about 100 pages.

Then I placed these books on an alternating weekly schedule, wherein I've assigned my focus to one large book, one medium book, and one small book for each day. So on Mondays I focus on The History of Western Philosophy, The Hobbit, and Relativity; on Tuesdays, Basic Writings of Nietzsche, The Hobbit, and On the Shortness of Life – and so on and so forth, except for Thursdays when I replace my small book slot with the reading for a philosophy podcast I've been listening to, and Fridays when I replace my large book slot with the actual podcast. This is the first time I've actually tried to organize my learning; prior to this, it has been completely spontaneous. I also have to leave time for my summer reading and study for a PreCalc placement exam in August (I'm trying to get placed in to Calculus for freshman year), but I guess I'll see how it goes.

Chemistry by Zumdahl
Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass
I figure I should read Frankenstein and Heart of Darkness too... I need to read more classical literature.
I must get in shape for my upcoming literature class.
I would not be as reluctant to read them if I were not assigned tedious homework and essays.

Crime and Punishment for the second time. Read it a while back and didn't follow it very well. This time through I feel like I understand it so much better (Kind of like watching a kid's movie you used to watch a lot and seeing all of the more "adult" jokes in there that you were always too naive to understand). I also am able to understand and connect with Raskolnikov much better this time around and I like him much more as a character than I did before.

Sourcery by Terry Pratchett, not his best, still good

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. It's pretty good but I keep getting distracted.

Just getting into the series, huh? They do get harder to stick with as it progresses, especially if you're reading for specific characters. Your favorite characters may die or their storylines might just lose their appeal which makes the series a little more of a drag. On the other hand, though, some previously uninteresting characters get better with time, so it's all a give and take.

The show is pretty awesome and I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.

My curiosity and desire to learn has run dry for the most part, the wonder and awe I once held for existence has left me.
I haven’t read a book in ages and I don’t plan to, I have a few I should be reading but I can’t be arsed.
Le brain dead.

And now a comic series that I'm currently reading portraying Richard...
