I’ve got my hand full at the moment, what with college and my studies on the works of American Literature, plus the fact that I am working on my IBM Challenge project. On the other hand, I’ve never felt more alive!! I think being busy suits me. I remember back when I was in my first and second semester, where I didn’t have anything worthwhile to do after my classes. I would just go home and sleep, maybe read a book or two, or play games on the computer. But that’s about what my days would amount to. Now I think I’m more organized, though not nearly as organized as I want to be, but better than I was a couple years back. I’m thinking about finally reading the book “Getting Things Done” that I’ve had for YEARS now. So far the reviews I’ve read have been positive, and from the many blogs that I sometimes read, from finance to self-help, this book has been highly recommended. So that’s that, I’m GOING TO READ IT!!!
Speaking of books, I am currently reading “Player Piano” by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Wonderful book, great author. The past two weeks I’ve already finished “The Sirens of Titans”, “Mother Night”, “Breakfast of Champions”, “Cat’s Cradle” and just two days ago I finished “Bluebird”. My favorite so far is “Bluebird”. It has a very human side to it, and I love its quirky and attractive characters. A MUST READ. A close second would be “Cat’s Cradle”. Hilarious book. I’m looking for Vonnegut’s short stories collection, though I haven’t found much success yet. I will keep looking, since I’ve heard that the book is very entertaining. A word of caution: if you have trouble reading and understanding the English language, even with the likes of Harry Potter, then you would be hard pressed to enjoy Vonnegut’s books. His use of vocabulary is extensive and complicated, especially for non-native speakers such as yours truly, and I have had to use my trusty Linguist English-Indonesian dictionary on many counts.
Enough rambling on, time to work.
Toodle Doo…
