Ya'll Be Good Now, Ya Hear?

I've come to the bittersweet conclusion that I want to read more books than is physically or humanly possible for me at this time in my life. What is even more sad is, well, this is the time in my life (excluding retirement, which I will probably end up avoiding as much as possible anyway) that I have the most time to accomplish the daunting yet thrilling task of reading all the written works on my "must read" list. It's actually called, and feel free to make fun of me for this, but it makes sense if you know me at all, "Read Before You Get Married" list. I figure that by the time I am married, my reading momentum will slow down significantly due to a) not finding a man who enjoys reading as much as I do or b) I will begin to make more and more excuses for "not having time" to read.

I was just now reminded of my literary predicament because I was looking at one of those annoying Facebook questionnaire thingys about how many books you've read off of this particular list...I think the grand total was 8. Woohoo! But then as I was scrolling down the list I found sooo many more books to add to my reading list. I have friends that I could go to for recommendations also, but I'm almost afraid to because I have no room! My list is starting to exceed two pages and at the rate I'm going, I'm only going to finish half of the first page. It probably doesn't help that I find new books that I've never heard of before and I check them out at the library and they happen to NOT be on my list. Oh well. And now all this book-chatter has gotten me thinking of this summer and the summer assignment I'm going to do for my AP English class...oh the suspense! And wait! There's more! The reading and writing for my AP Euro History class too! I am such a nerd that I am utterly excited for those classes. Oh boy.

This summer will make for an interesting/exciting/epic blogging time period...watch out ya'll! Yes, I used Southern colloquiallism and I love it. So there. I shall stop typing now.
