Status Update: Reading

It has been quite some time since I last updated my blog. It is time to get back into the swing of writing again. I think the best place to start writing is to share what I’m reading. I am currently reading Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson. I started it back in April/May and I’m just getting to halfway through the book. Mind you, I’m not reading every night like I should. The summer has been relentless at absorbing time due to landscaping, construction projects and migration from self-hosted to cloud hosted services.

With the school year started, I might find myself having more time to read and perhaps write in my journal that I keep for my non-existent kids to read when they’re older. I’d also like to keep blogging so that at the very least, I’m able to brain dump the swirling thoughts in my head to make room for more thoughts.

Tonight I start Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. I know, not another biography, but I just finished fiction and I don’t have another fiction book in my library to start, so I’ll go with another biography. Worst still? I have another biography to read (Albert Einstein). Oh hallo!

Status Update: Reading

Today I finished reading The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling. I can’t say I love it. I haven’t read the Harry Potter series so I have nothing for comparison. I found the book to be pointless, like a bad soap opera. I couldn’t relate to any of the characters or connect emotionally. I had high hopes when I bought the book because my fiancĂ© loved the Harry Potter series.
