2013, huh? Congratulations to us for still being around after the supposed Armageddon. This week I managed to do get more reading done than I ever did last year. Which is not to say that I didn't pick up even one book last year - I just mean that the things I read in 2013 felt for me like a vacation, an escape from all sorts of things, while my reading this week is reminiscent of the time I minored in Pol Sci. I am actually doing serious advanced reading again, more defined than the Wikipedia skimming kind I often prefer.
It feels nice. Even if I am reading about Nazideutschland and Hitler for a German grammar class, and I understand only half the jargon. I feel useful.
