Darek + Stacie

So I’ve finally started reading again.

I spent much of my life reading, until I graduated from college and couldn’t bear to pick up a book that wasn’t geared for kids or at least fairly short and/or easy to read. As an English major, I spent hours every night reading and when I got the diploma my brain said no more books. But it’s been 4 years and college seems like long ago enough to start the reading again. (It actually feels like a dream I had that I can’t quite remember, but that’s something else entirely.)

I find that my tastes have changed and I’m usually more interested in non-fiction than fiction (unless we’re talking Harry Potter or such). I started reading at Christmastime and haven’t really stopped since. I’d forgotten how much I loved to read, and how I can barely put a book down once I’ve started it. Now I have a great reading chair and easy access to a library that doesn’t charge overdue fines. Now I have much more time and a clearer mind than I ever had while I was in college. Now I can read lots.
