Making Sense of Outside Reading

Segwaying from my last blog, I have chosen to postpone reading Stephen King's Under the Dome until further notice. I have over 750 pages left to read and not enough time in the week to do it. So, instead, I'm going to read Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five since it is already laying on my bookshelf and the novel in its entirety is less than a third of my remainder of Under the Dome.

The moment is bittersweet: though I love Stephen King's book, I am intrigued by this new one. All I can currently remember about it is Dresden Bombings and space porn stars; that alone is enough to perk someone's interest.

Hopefully I can make my way through this novel quickly and happily this weekend; this week will be devoted to Crime and Punishment, which I have not been able to pick up once outside of class. I read too slowly and too for-pleasure-ly for this amount of literature.
