I'm off my schedule. Saturday would mark the day when I should begin reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" with gusto. Well, wait a second, I started it earlier and took a break and read something else (off list!). I've hit a wall I'm afraid. I found a book I'm loving and I'm not wanting to read book club books for now and this is the first time this has happened. I've been a good girl up to now. For 18 months I read the book I was supposed to and honestly with everything else in my life I rarely had time for another. Book Club #2 came along and I squeezed that one in. Now I never get to read something I just pick out myself. I'm not the speed reader some of you are, and I have a complicated lifestyle that doesn't allow a lot of time for reading these days (It used to). So back in June we read The "Elegance of the Hedgehog", and group #1 read it in August, thereby freeing up reading time for a book of my own choice. The joy! The sheer delight of it! It spoiled me. I listen to you speak of all the books you read and I envy you. Now I am having trouble jumping back on the Book Club wagon. I must. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is considered the best book ever written in a book poll of the librarians of the United States. Did you know that? I've read it before, seen the movie umpteen times and absolutely love it. But I discovered a - hold on here - you've seen the commercials...there are more that 85, 000 aps for an iPhone and one of them is Kindle. That reading thing - I don't even know what to call it exactly. But I'm not even caught up in reading a book - I'm reading my phone right now, and I better hurry. First Editions meets in two weeks and I better be ready for it.
