i have always been a lazy reader. Truthfully, I hardly ever read a book all the way. So it's true. I never read "The Great Gatsby", yet I deftly passed the quiz.
Well things changed this summer and I became a total bookworm. It might be because I was so focused with art school for a year, that when summer came, all I needed was some kind of intellectual stimuli. Don't get me wrong. I find art moving, intellectual and wholesome overall, but I would be lying if I say that art and books stimulate me the same way. Books are more one sided to me. Purely mental. Art is more of a global way of trigger my mind.
Anyways, this summer I have been reading a lot. I read "How We Decide" by Jonah Lehrer, "The Roots of Desire" by Marion Roach, "In Pursuit of Elegance" by Matthew E. May, and "The Beautiful People" by Simon Doonan. Almost all of them were great reads (sorry Mr. May). I will comment on some of them, probably later on. I am currently reading "The Next 100 Years" by George Friedman. This book looked so promising and enticing among the Non-Fiction pile, yet I am struggling so badly to get through this book. I was enjoying it, but it is becoming a little annoying. I am determined to finish it within the next two days. Ugh. You guys will have to wait.
