Man, it's so easy to continue not writing when you get into the habit of not writing. All of our fall sports stuff is over now and things are getting back to normal. Vacation is coming, but this one should be fun. Then Thanksgiving. Then Christmas. OK, I know I'm skipping a few weeks here and there, but it goes so fast. That's one of the reasons that I begin to celebrate Christmas (my favorite time of year) on November 1. I don't wait until the day after Thanksgiving like most people. To me, Thanksgiving is a holiday which falls during the 2 month Christmas season. The old Christmas song cds are ready to go. See? It's not even Halloween yet and I'm looking right past it. Halloween is just a speed bump in the fast lane to Christmas.
So now that I've proclaimed the next two holidays to be completely irrelevant, what else should I write?
Well, The Book Thief is pretty good so far. I haven't been able to just sit and read it uninterrupted, so I'm only about 1/3 through. A few pages here, a few more there. It definitely has a different style and feel to it. Overall I'm impressed with Markus Zusak, I have to say.
