Genesis
- It all began innocently enough.
- A haphazard challenge.
- To read 26 books in 52 weeks.

Four more weeks of school left. That's all I'm focussing on right now. I'm actually supposed to be focussing on three things: besides teaching, I have to finish my credential program requirements, and I'm also supposed to be looking for a job for the fall. So reading isn't merely secondary, but it's actually third in line behind two other things I'm supposed to be doing but ain't. Heh, maybe come June, I'll pick up a book again...
Of course, I've already confessed that I'd run out of steam. But what about the guy that was giving us crap because we weren't reading? How come we ain't hearin' nuthin' from him, hmm?
Who was giving people crap about people not reading? (missed that thread). All I can say is that "summertime is here" :)
It was me who was "dishing the crap". It's disappointing that there isn't more activity here (besides the Seattle duo, of course). I've always considered this a challenge and not a race, where we would support one another. It's not important who finishes first, or even that we finish at all, but that we stay and motivate one another in pursuing an admirable goal. My hope was that this circle would be similar to having running partners that help maintain a routine and keep motivation from waning.
But, this hasn't been how it's turned out.
So, that's why you've heard nothing from me. I'm smart enough to stop talking when I feel like I'm wasting my breath (though this is more hot air). But, to fill the uncomfortable silence, I just put up an entry on a book that I finished a month ago.
heh, smart enough? i beg to differ. regardless, though, what's beyond argument is this: both of us are up awfully dang late.
