So now that I have finished Anatomy of a Rose - what's next?
I'm back in that, unexplainable uncomfortable position of having to chose something to read.
I'm not sure why these days that becomes a process fault with anxiety. In my youth, grabbing a book and settling in to read it was as simple as breathing. Now, when I think of what to read next, I feel as if on this decision the future of humankind rests.
Maybe it's the fact that, unlike when I was young, I don't have all the time in the world to read. All those numerous things that make claim to my time now -- work, parents that need a hand, errands that have to be run when I'm not doing the first two, school work(yeah, yeah, I'm just plain crazy on THAT one!) and, I admit it, far too much TV watching and Gameboy playing!--just were not factors when it was MY parents that did all the worrying!
I guess the above just makes me feel like my time is a precious as gold -- and that I should treat the spending of it just so (which begs the question of why I waste any of that currency on TV!).
Whew! Just typing all that make me feel better! And feeling a lot more at ease at plucking a new choice from that pile of books on my floor!
