Fiction...ish
I have officially discovered the joys of reading something that is not either a.) assigned for school and/or b.) a contemplative assessment of life, deep questions, and all that.
My Aunt Amy gave a package-load of books for Christmas to our family, and I got A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, a story of his hike on the Appalachian Trail. It's a great read, and unfortunately has been sucking up my time for the last couple days when I should work more. But I guess I'm happy, because it's reminding me that yes, I can do something that is not mind-numbing and repetitive (games and animated comedies....) but doesn't have to be staring at the sky and wondering the meaning of life. By God, wouldn't you know it, there is an in between. Maybe that's how people can deal with it... by taking life in degrees.
I'm not saying I don't live right... just saying that I'm pleasantly surprised at the enjoyment I get out of the book. Poor video games will have to catch up, because there's thousands more books like this, so games have work to do before they even reach the level of common books.
