oh no
you know
i am a voracious reader
i have
real books on shelves
in our bedroom
books
i have read
but
can't part with
because
i might read them
again
yes
i often re-read books
i re-read
the stand
every few years
i know
i am crazy
but
sort of harmless
i also have
both
nook and kindle apps
on my iPad
i have read and archived many books
lately
i have embraced
ya books
they are often
far more
involving
better
written
than
books
for us oldsters
they also
for some reason
seem
to
all
be trilogies
occasionally
there are longer series
in my experience
those
tend to be formulamatic
and
not
very good
recently
three trilogies
where i read the first books
released the second or third book
in one case
it had been so long between books
i could not remember
who was who
i had to go back to the last book
and
re-read the last chapters
in the most recent read
i was completely lost
i had it confused with another series
add
to that
the author decided to have the chapters
narrated in the first person
with
no
indiction
of
who was speaking
that really bugged me
oddly
once i got with the program
i loved it
now
i am going to have to wait
12-18 months
for the next installment
that
my friends
is
my biggest issue
with
these books
maybe its me
being older
maybe my memory
isn't what it used to be
no
that is definitely
not
the case
i have an incredibly scary memory
i only don't remember things
i choose not to
really
if
i was
listening reading watching
its
there
forever
anyway
i am between books
to kill time
when things here
at the office are quiet
i occasionally
indulge
in a game called bejeweled
its simplistic
but
it keeps me
from
online shopping or staring into space
the iPhone upgrade
apparently
blew the game out
its no longer loading
at some point yesterday
in my search
for
a simple diversion
i looked at candy crush
oh
why
did
i
do
that
'cause
you know
now
i
am
hooked
