I'm not quite finished with The Devil in the White City, but I put it on the list - I'll finish it over the weekend. I don't have much commentary on what I read. I read mostly for pleasure this year, which I think is kind of indicative of the year in general: in other words, I pissed away a lot of valuable time doing nothing to further my writing career. I don't have much commentary on that, either, except to say that the year was what it was. I refuse to apologize or take any part of it back. Who knows? Maybe I was laying the foundations for some phenomenal work that will spring out of me in the future. You never know, and you can never judge. Sometimes you just need to chill out and fuck off for a while. It's not really my place or anyone else's to say I wasted time. It's my life. Even if I don't know how to live it, some part of me deep inside knows how to live it. And this year, that part of me said: read, fuck off, and don't sweat it.
Next post will be a list of what I'll be reading next year. O sweet jebus, it's not going to be "fun", but it will be interesting! Ok, maybe it'll be a little fun. :)
