My reading is down this year. As I write this post, there are 257 days left in the year. That means in the past 99 days I have read 10 Books:
Fiction
The Lincoln Lawyer. (Michael Connelly)
A Game of Thrones. (George R. R. Martin)
A Clash of Kings. (George R. R. Martin)
A Storm of Swords. (George R. R. Martin)
The Brass Verdict. (Michael Connelly)
The Dark Fields. (Alan Glynn)
The Reversal. (Michael Connelly)
Anonymous Lawyer. (Jeremy Blachman)
Non-fiction
Solo by Choice. (Carolyn Elefant)
How to be a Rainmaker (Jeffery Fox)
Basic Economics
I really should be reading a book every five days. That’s about how long it takes me to read a book. Nevertheless, I have succumbed to reading fatigue this year on more than one occasion. This is mainly a result of reading too much in preparation for law school exams and reading miscellaneous articles related to my dissertation. I have half a mind to keep track of all this miscellaneous reading.
I’ve started reading Worse Than War: “Genocide, Eliminationism, and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity,” by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen. The main reason is to try to balance out my reading load. It’s clear I need to read more nonfiction. A big reason for all the fiction, I think, is all of the reading I do regarding law school. The thing that really bothers me is that I find myself just sitting around watching TV too much. I past weekend I watched three basketball games. This week I am going to pick it up. I’ll try to finish the Goldhagen book and read a few short books front to back – The Social Contract and Kant’s Groundwork. I’ll be doing this as I ramp up for my finals in Contracts and Civil Procedure. Also, the baby will be here within the next thirty days. I can do this.
