What am I thinking?

Ok here I go. A book blog. i.e. the mother of all procrastination tactics. I am a History and English literature student studying in England, and on the days where my reading list seems never-ending and mostly made up of intellectually stimulating but essentially very boring articles, I have to slap myself round the face and say "Wake up. Reading is fun." Over this summer I finally read books totally irrelevant to my studies and of course I loved it. This doesn't mean I don't still panic whenever I veer off the path of academic reading because for some reason it means I am "wasting time." For god's sake, since when was reading a waste of time? Never, that's when. So for at least while I keep this blog up, I am going to read all sorts of weird and wonderful books and then write about them. That's all I think, I hope this works.
