Reading

Today I finally caved and switched over to Lolita, even though I'm not quite done with Catcher in the Rye yet. It turns out that I was wrong - I thought that maybe I was unimpressed by Catcher in the Rye because I read it on vacation and wasn't really paying attention. Turns out I just am not a fan of the book in general, especially the narrative voice. Since my enjoyment of authors usually comes in chunks (I like one book, then get a lot more), I was surprised that my love of the Glass family completely died as I joined Holden Caulfield in rambling around New York. I'll probably finish it before September comes, just to have another check in the accomplishments column, but it's slow going right now.
