| My Favorite Thing |
is my iPod. Since I don't have a car, I am a public transit rat (well, in the winter. In the spring/summer/fall, i'm a cyclist). I only live about 3 miles from my campus, but if I take the T, it takes 40 minutes, and if I take the rush-hour bus, it takes 30 minutes. And the iPod that my momma bought me for Christmas keeps me very occupied.
Lately, the thing I *love* to do is put books on the iPod. I get them on disk from my library (for free), load them up, and listen to and from school. Since I started law school, I haven't read one single novel. Perhaps I read one over Christmas break ... yeah, I did. (The Amateur Marriage, and I did not like it). I checked out the latest Saramago novel from the library recently, but I don't know why. It's on paper. And it's not full of cases. So I can't read it. But the iPod and the train work together so that I have read/listened to: The Namesake; some Elizabeth Berg book which title I cannot remember; Dean Koontz' By the LIght of the Moon (which was very entertaining, if not intellectually stimulating), I *tried* to read "I don't know how she does it" by one of these chick lit authors, but I just .... ugh. My ears were about to bleed. It was HORRID. Oh, and I read Little Friend by Donna Tartt. That was a good one. I loved that one.
Now I"m doing another Dean Koontz one, for the sheer entertainment factor (which I felt deserving of, after this damned school project fiasco), and then I'm going to read (listen to) the new Bojal .... uh, the guy who wrote Midwives.
It's nice to have one foot in the world of fiction again :) |
