I really miss reading for simple enjoyment. Whenever I do have time to actually read, it's almost always a college textbook. This last weekend I had a really nice conversation with an old friend about how we miss the days when we would read all the time! We reflected on how we are one of the few friends we know who have read the entire Harry Potter series. Now that is kind of sad! The amount of books I have read has steadily declined since grade school. High school was pretty bad, and now college it's almost all reading for classes. Not that I'm complaining about the reading I have to do for college, because some of it is wonderful, but I need to start reading something else too. I am going to make a goal for myself to start reading more (and blogging more...), and hopefully I can get myself back to the pace I was at when I was in 4th grade.
And for anyone planning on going to see "The Hobbit" next week, I highly recommend reading the book first if you can. One of my favorites!
