I had to check out The Glass Menagerie for class. I also wanted to check something else out for funsies, since I quit trying to read House of Leaves (for now anyway). I wish there were some sort of survey thing you could take at the library that would automatically recommend books that you may like that are similar to things you have
already read and liked.
But they don’t have that. That would have made my life easier. And more interesting. I just ended up checking out the book I needed and not anything else.
On my way home, I realized that me checking out more books would be like me buying books that are just sitting on my bookshelf. So I posed a challenge to myself … Read every book on this bookshelf (including House of Leaves).
Behind those shower gels, body creams, and perfume boxes are more books that have been purchased by me and have never been opened.
I’ve read some of them, and by some I mean like three. Or five. But yes, I will read every single book (except the texts books) on this bookshelf. I'll most likely reread the books I already read.
