Books!

[alasse_irena]

Today I unintentionally sat down and read the entirety of Size Zero , a memoir by a French woman who had a brief and somewhat horrifying career as a supermodel and wound up with an eating disorder.

Mostly I am just kind of bemused that I went from idly browsing the library new books display to sitting down for an hour and a half and finishing thing book in one go, given it is not at all my usual genre, and recently I've been having trouble finding the time and motivation to read the (also very readable) autobiographies I must read for my thesis.

I guess it just proves that Literally Anything is more appealing that the thign you have to do.

Anyway, it was quite engaging and quite compelling, so I guess that was an hour and a half unintentionally well-spent.

Must be a riveting book!

I don't know if was riveting so much as just...very easy and quick to read, so that by the time I thought about it, I was already halfway through and I was like, "I guess I may as well finish it." Like I don't think it told me anything I didn't know; she was just quite frank and engaging about it, I guess.

Ain't that the truth. I'm studying for the math portions of Praxis 1 (a test that's required for Education Majors) and part of me would rather spend the entire day doing anything except more math problems.
