Seriously.
I'm all over my "real" writing (read: the three books in various stages of completion, and the essays, and the new freelancing gig, and the side projects with my humor writing partner, and, and, and), but this day job racket isn't cutting it in the middle of cold, dark January. Just getting through the days sucks any "even" I had right out of me, and every evening I wind up in a fetal curl on my couch, staring mindlessly at the TV,
Which is why I need a good book list.
I used to think that winter was the time for reading serious books, since you don't want to leave the house anyway, but I'm starting to question that; I have so little energy that I CAN'T leave the house. I certainly can't use what's left on Proust.
Of course I can't waste perfect summer days on something so mentally taxing, either. Or fall, coz that's my favorite season. It's possible I'll never read a serious book again. But that's another matter.
Point is, I need suggestions of can't-put-'em-down books to get me through these darkest of days.
So tell me the most recent book that fits that bill for you.
Help keep my brain from freezing up the same way my social life has!
Purchase the entire collection of Calvin & Hobbes collections, assuming you don't already own them. Though there is some pretty serious content in there.
ReplyDeleteOooh, good call. I owned a couple of those books back in high school, but lord knows where they are now. Time to recommit.
