So my books are supposed to come, today. Actually, amazon says that they left the post office and have been dragged around by the mail carrier since 9:00 this morning. Where are you oh booksie books!

These are kind of a valuable assortment of books. I got a new book, "The Explosive Child" for the explosive child in my life, "Fred Stays with Me" for the children of divorce in my life, "Beyond the Sling" just because I want to know more about attachment parenting and then finally "The Highly Sensitive Person" for... well... me. I am very excited about reading them, which is funny, because I have kind of been lagging on the whole reading fiction piece. I currently have Anathem, Sacre Bleu and Windup Girl to get through before I can even think about other books... but of course that isn't going to happen. I am just going to get to other books.

This, I feel, is why I need a two week vacation. Books are just hard to read when you can't 1.) take a whole week to stop freaking out about work and then 2.) take the second week to plow through the remainder of your reading material. That said, I am a colossally slow reader. That means, that I would have to take a month in order to finish it. This is why I either need a time machine or a time stopper. That way, I can either go back in time and finish my reading and catch up on my sleep OR I can stop time and do the same things. Sadly, this discussion is proceeding to more and more unlikely scenarios leading to the conclusion that I am wanting what I can't have.

So, I'm going to go to the porcelain throne, bring one of my books and wait for my new ones to arrive :( These are times, although I am abashed to admit it, where I am a little bummed that the world does not revolve around me.

I have finished about 8 books so far this year and I'm starting on my 9th but in a week I only read like less than 10 pages. I read whenever I can because let's face it, sometimes if we don't make time, we will not have time. Ever.

There is a book crossed out on your "to read" list that caught my eye. Zen and the art of faking it.. How helpful is the book?
