i know EXACTLY what you mean! damn routine just wont settle down. keeps jumping around like a nervous colt. i suspect my body clock has been crying out in pain since i started lums. what with crazy nighters, coding, assignments, quizes and going to teach at 8 in the morning AFTER a nighter, (shudder) i just can't start reading either!
My reading list is growing and growing and growing. i have 30 or so pratchett's lined up, along with 100 years of solitude, things fall apart, song of fire and ice, dirk gently's holistic something agency etc etc...atleast 50 books, and no time to read them...
no paperbacks either! almost all ebooks! (sonafassarassafassafassafisk!)
<-mutley-cursing
reading on the pc is something i have grown accustomed to but it's no where near as much fun as the feel of the real thing...
sigh..
seems the only time i can read in the year is in my summer hols
what's your excuse?
"my excuse-i am half blind looking at colors and working on my own.so words just blur infront of my eyes and i cant read...
besides that i just wasnt motivated enough to read..nothing was exciting me"
pratchett's is someone i dont know off but since of 30 titles lying around i must look into it..
ebooks??????why why whyy
i cant ever dream of actually reading a BOOK online..
theres someone i know who read all of harry potter sonline and i just couldnt deal with it..
YOU MUST HOLD THE BOOK IN YOUR HAND!!!!!!!!!!otherwise there is just *ing left in reading and to the *ing you could attach anyother word...need i say more!
Pratchett isn't really available in Pakistan. Unfortunately. The Theif of Time is about the only title available with ferozsons.
Excerpt:
NOW CONSIDER THE TORTOISE AND the eagle.
The tortoise is a ground-living creature. It is impossible to live
nearer the ground without being under it. Its horizons are a few
inches away. It has about as good a turn of speed as you need to hunt
down a lettuce. It has survived while the rest of evolution flowed
past it by being, on the whole, no threat to anyone and too much
trouble to eat.
And then there is the eagle. A creature of the air and high places,
whose horizons go all the way to the edge of the world. Eyesight keen
enough to spot the rustle of some small and squeaky creature half a
mile away. All power, all control. Lightning death on wings. Talons
and claws enough to make a meal of anything smaller than it is and at
least take a hurried snack out of anything bigger.
And yet the eagle will sit for hours on the crag and survey the
kingdoms of the world until it spots a distant movement and then it
will focus, focus, focus on the small shell wobbling among the bushes
down there on the desert. And it will leap . . .
And a minute later the tortoise finds the world dropping away from it.
And it sees the world for the first time, no longer one inch from the
ground but five hundred feet above it, and it thinks: what a great
friend I have in the eagle.
And then the eagle lets go.
And almost always the tortoise plunges to its death. Everyone knows
why the tortoise does this. Gravity is a habit that is hard to shake
off. No one knows why the eagle does this. There's good eating on a
tortoise but, considering the effort involved, there's much better
eating on practically anything else. It's simply the delight of eagles
to torment tortoises.
But of course, what the eagle does not realize is that it is
participating in a very crude form of natural selection.
One day a tortoise will learn how to fly.
