Opium
I forgot to mention, a couple weeks ago I settled down to Confessions of an English Opium Eater. It was uneccessarily formal and confusing to me, as many 19th century books seem to be (Think Jules Verne and Charles Dickens) but I found it very interesting because I could relate a lot of things in the book to concepts I'm studying in my psychology class, like drug usage obviously, dreams, personality, etc. I kind of expected it to be way cooler though because I went through a phase were I was really interested in opium usage in that time period. Actually I still am. It was cool that it was a true story though, and autobiographical at that. So yeah, I just did a count, and I pretty much need to read 14 books in the next month to meet my goal. That's a book every other day. At least school finishes next week. Otherwise I would say impossible. And actually, I'm probably going to end up saying better luck next year.
