4) LIFE OF PI--Yann Martell
5) GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY--Er, ???
6) IN DEFENSE OF FOOD--Michael Pollan

8) FOOD MATTERS--also by Michael Pollan
9) DETECTIVE FICTION--P.D. James
That last one is not the actual name for the book, but I have passed it on to my mother, and so again, I can't remember the title, and can't check it, either. It was interesting; a review of classic detective fiction and how it has changed with the times. It was an easy read, but for whatever reason, it took months to finish.
I have been a bit lackluster in my reading, since other things have been getting in the way. I'm trying to work out an hour and a half a night, trying to edit fifty hours in March, write a screenplay this month, all while working a full time job for the Army. Something has to get pushed to the side, and I guess that something is my reading time.
It hasn't helped that I've had a few false starts. I started LET THE GREAT WORLD SPIN, but it made me depressed. Then I started THE WOMEN, by T. C. Boyle. That one was kind of interesting, but wasn't holding my attention enough for me to continue. So now I'm reading EMMA (Jane Austen). I'm ten chapters into that one, which would seem like a lot, but, since it's on the Kindle, in a volume with several of her books, I'm on 2% of the way through, and have been for an unbelievably long time.
That's when reading on a Kindle becomes discouraging. Reading your way through a real 'live' book, you can at least get a feel for how many pages you've made it through. 2%? What's that supposed to mean, exactly?
And now, I've veered off course again, with THE MOONSTONE, by Wilkie Collins, I believe. This one is arguably one of the oldest detective mysteries around, and it was mentioned glowingly in the PD James book.
I swear, I suffer from reading ADD.
