This And Read

What a day! Waking up a little after 4am to drive nonstop for 6 hours is not precisely what I call a fun time. Specially when my girlfriend, who is supposed to be trying to keep me awake, falls asleep in the passenger seat- and makes me wanna sleep too! Oh well, we made it here safely. Got lunch with the aunt, took a nap, dinner with the parents, hung out. . . all good times.

Right after dinner, we went into Borders (the bookstore) because my girlfriend's mom was looking for a book to give to her husband. First of all, that's just cute- I really hope that after 30 something years of marriage, I too will have it in me to get little things for my spouse. Second of all, it reminded me how behind I am on my readings!

Really, it's not about being a geek, I really hope "the cool people" of nowadays would understand that. I've always thought of reading as excercise for the mind- and I'm not trying to be corny here. I've always been the one that never gets tired of learning more and more. But lately, I've been reading less and less.

I got "Night" by Elie Weisel for my birthday (which was back in November), and if you look at my "Currently Reading" section (on the right side of this page), you'll see that I'm still reading it! Granted I've been doing all sorts of trips and things but that can't be an excuse. I need to read more and I will do just that. So I'll finish this and read a bit, that's a promise.

Oh and for future reference, any book you think I should read?

P.S. The road trip was actually really enjoyable!
