i don't get overwhelmed easily but lately, i've been feeling really really overwhelmed to...catch up on my reading list.

currently on my "library":
  • Macbeth (i'm going to see the production on B'way in April)
  • This is Your Brain on Music (nuff said)
  • Duchess of Langeis by Balzac (cuz i feel like reading something french every time it rains...and it's been raining a lot)
  • Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks (i've been "reading" this for like 3 months now...sigh...)
  • Precision Heart Rate Training (i'm curious about this)
  • Wagner Nights by Joseph Horowitz (it's interesting how the Opera culture affected the NYC area, etc. etc.)
now, the problem with the above list is that i HATE reading non-fiction. aside from shakespeare & balzac up there, it's all interesting but....i just don't like non-storylines.

i have a true book ADD. any feedback on what i should ditch/later or any tricks to "managing" multi-book-obsessions?

apropos of my previous post, i think i covet...way too much.

Clint and I were trying to count how many books we are currently "in the process of reading" the other day and we ran out of fingers. I prefer an intuitive approach to reading. I pick up and set down books as they call out to me from the shelf. I have been reading a lot more non-fiction in the past years. Mostly ones that would be inappropriately shelved under "Christian Inspiration" at Barnes and Noble. Sometimes I find that I actually need to set them down for a while in order to really be present to them when I pick them up again.

But the moral of the story is, I LOVE to read, so the more books the better. There is NO shame in that! :)
