Gotta Go Read

I'm still reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle so I didn't join in on the Oprah webcast with the author David Wroblewski tonight. I hated missing out on joining with thousands of others sharing their reactions to a story in real time, not to mention hearing the author's own insights. But in spite of how special that could be, I knew it would spoil the experience of reading the rest of the story. Confidence that the video would be available in the archives at Oprah.com later helped me decide to wait.

I can remember a time when I could devour a book this size (nearly 600 pages) in a single day. Those days are long gone I suppose but I do wish I could regluarly finish a book that size in a single week. Now that has more to do with priorities than my vision issues so I should be able to make it happen. Sigh. So what will have to give?

Update: silly me. Oprah's webinar with the author is NEXT Monday evening!!! I have received how many emails from Oprah.com referencing it? I would blame it on my eyes since I do often mistake 6 for 0 when fonts are small. But that doesn't explain how I misstook it in the many announcements she has made on her show since Thanksgiving. So I have another week to finish the book and still get to participate live.
