I'm behind the time with my responses. Sorry!

I'm glad you got to read and cut down your "Big List of Shame". Reading is always a joy and a pleasure to me. However, the work related stuff can be boring *sigh* but a necessary evil. The problem occurs when I sit down to read something I want to read. I feel listless and bored. I can't seem to get into the mindset of reading for pleasure. I've decided I'm going to "force" myself to relax *hee* and get back to reading for the pure fun of it.

As for George W. all I can say is farewell! He was certainly an idiot, and not even a well intentioned idiot. Hopefully Obama can set things straight.

Take care,

Shelley

The new big list of shame will be up shortly, and it's not much reduced, I got to say, because there have been many new additions. Um.

For me, I think it helps that I generally am pressed for time. I have a subway ride, a couple minutes before I have to get ready for work, etc. Because I know I only have a finite period to read, I'm eager to read what I can.

He's either an idiot or an evil genius. I can never quite make up my mind.
