Help me. ..... Please!

I think I'm throwing in the towel on "Tropic of Cancer." I really can't take it. I realized I started dreading going to bed every night because that is the time I read. And for those of you who don't know me well, I NEVER dread going to bed.I love to sleep. Its one of my favorite things to do actually. I'm pretty notorious in my family for snapping viciously at anyone who tries to disturb my sleep or tries to hold a conversation with me within a half an hour of me waking up - even longer if my coveted first cup of coffee hasn't nestled into my bloodstream yet. So, if I am dreading going to bed - me the lover of all things nocturnal, than there is a problem with this book. It is just so damn haphazard. Its one run on sentence after another and endless descriptions of crap I could care less about. I will admit there are some beautiful passages describing the seedier side of Paris in the 30s but that's really where it all ends for me. I should just pull a George Costanza and leave it on a shelf in a boys locker room; then I wouldn't have to feel guilty about never finishing it. I feel like I shouldn't give up yet. I mean, the whole idea of this blog was to tackle the stuff that isn't necessarily the easiest to get through. Is my quitting a cop out?

If you are reading this and think I should keep going, let me know because if not, I'm going back to reading "Harry Potter" for the 3rd time.

What is a classic?

There are varying definitons and opinions about what defines a classic but they all have  3 things in common: 1.  It stands the test of time 2. It has universal appeal 3. It has artistic quality I have to add my own to these three and that is that it moves you to feel something - whether it be love, hate, anger, sadness or joy, a classic work of literture should have the power to move. This has led me to reflect upon my first real experience with being moved by a book. I read a lot as a child and teenager but largely to impress my mother who was a librarian. My reading experience didn't extend beyond  Stephen King and the Baby Sitter's Club books. Then my junior year in high school, my English teacher assigned, "A Separate Peace." by John Knowles,  a typical high school reading list book.  I approached it like I did every school assigment - with diligence but little to no enthusiasm. Three quarters of the book was pretty forgettable....

We are our own harshest critic

The buzzword of the moment seems to be mindfulness. Everywhere I turn, there is mention of this - in the podcasts I listen to, in the articles I read, in my guided meditations and during yoga. It means essentially staying present in every moment and not projecting your mind into thoughts of the past or future. This is extremely challenging. I am struggling with this lately. My mind has been obsessing over what steps I want to take in my life next but also what mistakes I have made in my past that have gotten me to the present moment. I haven't been meditating as much lately and that is one of the reasons why my mind seems to be wandering so much. It is not being trained properly. I have also only done yoga 2x this week which is highly unusual for me. I have been mentally and emotionally exhausted and so because of this I have neglected many of the things that typically keep me sane. I am trying not to beat myself up over my lack of motivation but it is where my mind goes when I am ...

Lolita Review: Part 1

So I have finally starting reading "Lolita" and I'm hooked. My husband came into our bedroom at 1:45 am and saw me fighting sleep while trying to read. That's what happens when a book is that good. You forget where you are or what is happening around you. All sense of time fades away. Within the first paragraph I already knew why this book is considered a classic: the writing is beautiful. A lot of times in between reading really well written, thought provoking books, I will take a break with something easy - ya know the type- they are usually referred to as beach reads, the books where you don't have to concentrate at all to get through it. I like these books but I never feel as if the authors are real writers. To me they are purely employees collecting a paycheck for doing a job. The words don't sing off of the page; there is no soul alive behind the paragraphs. Reading a classic is a whole different experience. You can feel the writers emotions right there...
