Reading and Procrastination

Let me start by saying I have Soooooo much else I should be doing right now, but some how a little procrastination does a body good. There's nothing like pressure to inspire one to get the job done. What job you say? Oh, the three extra assignments I just ( stupidly) volunteered to provide to my professor by Friday, the presentation, the lesson plan and observation ( by my boss), the multiple letters of reccommendation, where I barely avoid lying to get my darling students into college, resume and job applications, course descriptions to order ...etc ad nauseum.
Oh! I finished another class on Saturday- final exam and presentation. Also wrote a song and four pages of poetry waiting to get finished while watching five hours of other presentations. (Don't worry, I wasn't obvious.) That would be rude.

What are you reading these days? Here's a list that I currently have on the night stand;

2666, Roberto Bolano
Echoes of Beaudelaire, selected poems
Money, by Martin Amis
Revoloutionary Road, by richard Yates

Uh Oh! It's clear I have a problem or should have been a librarian. But I love books and just have to have them all! I am currently reading three simultaneously. Others are on deck. Others have been read. When I was a child, I pictured a cozy home with rooms lined with books. I am on my way.
