I’m in a really bad reading slump I used to read thirty or so books in summer and this summer I haven’t read a single book I’m reading Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin but I’ve been reading that for quite a while. I don’t know what happened, but I’m going to try harder now. So I thought I would make a post about it so that I'm more likely to try a lot harder.

I’ve got the flu and fever, sitting in bed, everything hurts and I’m dying.
