I am on page 599 of Mason and Dixon, but I haven't picked the book up in several weeks. I have 174 pages left to go. I took a break and read a Tom Waits biography, and then we went on vacation (and I brought the book but never opened it up), and then I just read Slaughterhouse Five because BJ's review of it on his podcast was so damned good. So now I am faced with the prospect of going back to M&D, which I really don't feel like doing, but I also don't feel like throwing away several months of my life only to NOT finish the book. What do I do?
In other news, the J-Dog and I biked to the garden the other night, and it was a good time. But then she took a spill on the way home. She's ok, but she's scraped up a bit. It was pretty scary.
I biked to the gym yesterday, which turned out to be a surprisingly simple ride, but hilly. And, because the gym is right next door to the B&N, I now know that I could bike to work, which is a nice option.
Time to go poo!

Why would you read a book you're clearly not enjoying? You're not in school any more; you don't have to read books you don't want to read. Pick up something you like! That's what I say.
I concur with PKP. It’s also worth mentioning that any sort of leisurely reading (regardless of the title) is for the…ahem…birds. Just my $0.02.

Mason and Dixon have now and will always suck. SUCK. Read Finn.

You better finish. If your gravestone looks like this (see Below) I will shout "Dead Liar" throughout your entire funeral:
