Leftovers

In my past life (as I like to refer to it), with almost every paycheck I would buy a few CDs (sometimes more!) and a few books (I looooved Borders "buy one get one half off").  However, I didn't read every single one of these books.  It's ok though because now that I have little money, I can't buy any books.  It is my goal to finish my box of books by then end of my time here- next August!  So far, I've only read about 8, so I have about 30 more to go!  I do love reading, but sometimes I feel like I have better/easier things to do.  My biggest downfall (well, this could also be a good thing) is that I rarely give up on a book.  I might get bored and put it down for a bit, but I try so hard to carry through and usually I'm glad I did.  To keep me from getting bored, I have my books on a rotation by type.  First, I read a non-fiction (yep, I'm trying to learning something out here), then a heavy fiction (you know what I'm talking about... the harder books to read), and finally a fun easy read (oh so refreshing!).  Also, I have them in order on a shelf to motivate and get me excited to finish my current book.  Here is a list of what I've read so far...

- Nickel and Dimed
- Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
- The Inheritance of Loss
- Beat the Reaper
- Three Junes
- Fire in the Blood
- Free Food for Millionaires
- Three Cups of Tea

Right now I'm on an easy read: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  It's pretty good so far.  I have a lot of good books in my box, so I'm pretty excited about finishing them... I just hope I actually do finish get around to reading them!

And, yes, this also means I have means I have a number of songs on my iPod that I haven't really listened to... oh man, I wonder how I'll be when I go back to making money again.  I hope I've changed.
