I forgot to do an end of the year wrap up. Winter break I was very busy and without my computer. I finished The Doors of Perception/Heaven and Hell by Aldous Huxley. I liked the DoP, it was an essay I can agree with and relate to in a way, and I'd like to read any post–6O's essays of a similar nature or inspiration to see how that all worked out. I feel thoughts on the matter may have changed, not sure though because I really don't have the research. It strikes me as odd that he might consider himself an authority on the matter after only one experience but w/e. Heaven and Hell just plain didn't have my attention. I read this right as winter break started and after 2.5 months of non stop pressing stress I wanted only to lay around and watch my boyfriend play Zelda. I am still reluctant to turn my brain back on after a full month of heavy duty sleeping. The only other book I was able to finish during break was The Walking Dead Volume 1 by Robert Kirkman which I'm not even sure I can count this as a full book. Whatever. It was cool, but quite honestly the TV show has more of my attention and devotion. I don't really have any interest in resuming the book series, as it was not the most well written and artistically merited graphic novel I've read and if I'm gonna chillax w/ a comic there's others I'd rather be reading. Soooo yeah that was the end of 2O12. I fully intend to read more this year as I do every year, but really school kicked my butt this year more than ever [after I quit Wunderland exactly a year ago, I have been consistently taking far more classes than I can really handle] Oh and can we just talk about the amount of "wild" posts I had this year?
Final Count: 21
Better than last year though, really!
