my questionable taste in literature this week
12:41 a.m. thinking about finishing a project that’s due on tuesday and my final on thursday. but beneath those thoughts is my desire to get back into the book i’m currently reading. now that i have my kindle, reading is so much more accessible. not that i was a slacker when i had to schlep to the store and purchase them in person…but i can literally download a book in mere minutes (two max). and looking at my “play list” currently on my kindle home page, i’ve already read Coraline, I’m Down, and i’m about midway through Commencement: A Novel. Next up is Holly’s Inbox.
basically my kindle has become a portal into another world. a world where i’m a fat, single, cat owning, former sorority girl who peaked junior year and who loves girls nights out, yoga class, skinny girl margaritas, paul rudd movies (cause he’s just so nice) and who just adores her chick lit.
it’s a portal that will eventually lead to janet evonovich novels, the twilight series and an insane crush on robert pattinson… where friday nights consist of only a trip to the frozen yogurt shop with my gal pals before heading home for glasses of redwine and mediocre jennifer aniston comedies…where i’ll go to my younger, prettier (thinner) sister’s wedding seething with hatred but doing my best to not let it show until one too many merlots leads to a drunken regurgitation of how sucky my life is to anyone who will listen and then, after i’ve vomited up my third piece of wedding cake, i’ll go and sleep with the first schlub on the groom’s side who pays me any kind of attention.
the next day, all will be forgotten once i immerse myself into one of the many worlds of jennifer weiner.
note to self: must branch out into other genres of literature.
