Today I decided to quit reading The Portrait of a Lady. I know I said I kinda liked it but it's just too hard. Today I kinda wanted to read a bit but just the idea brought pain to me. So tomorrow...

So today I didn't read anything. I woke up rather early and decided to just play Sims 2 today so hopefully I can get it out of my system. Anyway hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to go back to read...
21/9/2012 Friday in 2012
So my reading of The Portrait of a Lady is not going so well. I'm really starting to grow against late 19th century and early 20th century English literature. A lot of books of this period are re...

Continued reading The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. I just don't know what to say. On some level I really like it, it makes you want to read it. But there is also that heaviness and I keep r...

So today I continued reading The Portrait of a Lady. Good book, though slow. But I wasn't really able to concentrate on my reading. Too preoccupied. Time seems to fly by. I should really try to d...

Continued reading The Portrait of a Lady. But mostly just played SIms 2. Raising a child is hard but raising twins is hell on earth.
17/9/2012 Monday in 2012
So today I began reading The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. The beginnings are always hard for me but so far I liked. It's a lot tell and little show so far but hopefully that will soon chang...
16/9/2012 Sunday in 2012
So today I, finally, finished re-reading The Lord of the Rings. The ending made me emotional. The book does have a lot of those moments where it's just people walking around and it's kind of bori...
15/9/2012 Saturday in 2012
Since they went to the woods for mushrooms this morning I read a lot more than I expected. Supposedly they will be busy tomorrow also. If that will be so I might finish re-reading The Return of t...
14/9/2012 Friday in 2012
Continued re-reading The Return of the King. Don't know how things will go during the weekend. My plan is to continue reading just a bit so that I'm not too far behind. I just don't know this who...
13/9/2012 Thursday in 2012
So today I continued re-reading The Return of the King. Now the first part is over. Tried to make more oven experiments but they were not as successful. Today's lesson is that you should really p...

Today I continued re-reading The Return of the King. Now we are finally going somewhere interesting. Anyway today as an experiment I made oven potato chips. Fried them a bit too long but otherwis...
11/9/2012 Tuesday in 2012
Today I began re-reading The Return of the King. Despite being the shortest book it will probably take the longest time to read. Things are pretty much the same as they were yesterday. The cough ...
10/9/2012 Monday in 2012
Today I felt somewhat better but not entirely good. I didn't start reading The Return of the King, hopefully I will be able to do that tomorrow. Today my nose was no longer runny though breathing...
9/9/2012 Sunday in 2012
Today I felt a bit better. Yesterday during the night I had a dream that seemed a bit feverish but I don't think my temperature was really that high. Yesterday I started a little crochet project ...
8/9/2012 Saturday in 2012
So today I feel a lot worse than yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again so I got up from bed at 4am. I took a short nap during the day. Now I feel sleepy a...
7/9/2012 Friday in 2012
Today I finished re-reading The Two Towers, but barely because I felt sick. When I woke up (this night my sleep was thankfully more peaceful) my throat was sore and I felt cold and now my nose is...
6/9/2012 Thursday in 2012
So today I continued reading The Two Towers. Tomorrow I will finish it. I read a bit less today then I previously expected. I had, like yesterday, very troubled sleep. Couldn't fall asleep for a ...
5/9/2012 Wednesday in 2012
Continued reading The Two Towers today. Now I've finished the first part. Not much to say besides that. I feel really tired, spent out. A full day of research gave no satisfying results. Had a fl...
4/9/2012 Tuesday in 2012
So today I continued re-reading The Two Towers. Apparently one of the things I had forgotten was that the second part was about Frodo and Sam (and Gollum) and the first about everyone else. I'll ...
3/9/2012 Monday in 2012
So today I began re-reading The Two Towers. Read a tad more than I expected. Nothing much to say about it. The beginning of the second book has awful little to do with Frodo and the Really Import...
2/9/2012 Sunday in 2012
Today I finished re-reading The Fellowship of the Ring. Like I previously planned I gave it 5 stars on goodreads.com and added Tolkien to my favourite authors list. I put him on the very top (sor...
1/9/2012 Saturday in 2012
So today I continued re-reading The Fellowship of the Rings (well, since Tolkien meant the Lord of the Rings as one book Part I would be more accurate). Finished Chapter 5 where they finally leav...
31/8/2012 Friday in 2012
So today I continued re-reading The Fellowship of the Ring. I have finished the first book. Anyway after I was done with my reading I made the Swedish Sticky Cake. I turned out good, or at least ...
30/8/2012 Thursday in 2012
So today I began re-reading The Fellowship of the Ring. I found it to a very enjoyable read. I think that before I wasn't much of a fan of the books though I always loved the movies. So hopefully...
