R is for Reading
Posted by Lanea on Monday, September 15th, 2008
Of course it is.
My college room-mate Steven took this photo of me for a photography class he was taking. His assignment was to take a photo that really explained a friend of his as well as possible. So he started talking me into laying in our bathtub, bathing in books. I asked two questions, in this order:
“How can we make sure none of my books get ruined.”
“You don’t expect me to be nude, do you?”
He answered both questions correctly, cleaned the tub, fixed the leaking faucet, buried me, took a bunch of shots, and got an A. And I finally got to give my Mom a photo I didn’t hate to display in the house.
I’ve been reading for nearly 31 years now. I have no idea how many books I’ve read. I know I still have all of the books I can see in the shot, what with the recent library reconstruction. I will never have enough time to read as much as I like. I will always have too many books. And I’ll continue to try to fix the first and ignore the second, because it’s the smallest favor I can do myelf.

Does it bother you not knowing what books you’ve read? I actually started a list back in junior high and have updated it since every time I finish a book. It’s great to look through now, almost like a journal. Starts with the Red Pony. 🙂
