making up for lost time

i've been reading maniacally since i graduated in february (7 books to the day).  it's a bit of a shame that i'm only now, at nearly 26, coming to enjoy reading for leisure!  nevertheless, the should-haves are now more present than ever, and the roundabout means by which i select each book to read is quite amusing.  i finished Cakes and Ale by Maugham this afternoon, and it was just beautiful. 

now i'm on to anna karenina, and i'm tremendously excited.
