Quoted II

"I don't want anyone writing in to point out that I spend too much money on books, many of which I will never read. I know that already. I certainly intend to read all of them, more or less. My intentions are good. Anyway, it's my money. And I'll bet you do it too."

-Nick Hornby, The Polysyllabic Spree

I had a delightfully Brit-tastic afternoon, huddled under my covers because my bedroom at home is frigid in a way that seems to completely defy that whole "heat rises" concept, reading Hornby's essays about reading and listening to Coldplay. My favorite part of any break from school is having time for recreational reading - reading about reading just epitomizes the temporary freedom from academia's shackles.
