I don't like trying to read two books at once, but somehow I've ended up doing exactly that. I suppose it's a desperate attempt to forestall the inevitable - I must make a decision about my book.

Either way, I was through half of 11/22/63 when I read the first few pages of the Hunger Games and could not stop. So, King gets left on the shelf and the other book I can't put down.

But still, I'm trying to keep my mind off the almost finished book that I know needs to rest. Or at least I do. I'm going to let my mind wander about for a bit and see if something wakes me up and is screaming "Write this down, now!" (which some writers will tell you happens more often than they'd like to admit.)

I'm glad I'm a fast reader. I should be through Hunger Games sometime tomorrow and I can start the next week out with a fresh outlook.

But you know the part about getting some sleep? Not going to happen. Probably not for a long time, either. But that's another story, too.
