I started reading The Hour I first Believed by Wally Lamb on Tuesday.... I should stop and tell you that students started school on Monday. I started the book at 8:30... I should also stop here and tell you that I go to bed every night at 9:30. Which means I actually get off the couch at 9:20 to let the dog out and get ready to BE in bed at 9:30. So starting the book so "late" really wasn't smart of me. But I really wanted to start a new book. So I started it.
So the next day, I sat down to read a little before Bible study. And. I. Couldn't. Remember. Anything. About. The. Book. Nothing. I couldn't remember the main character, the setting, the reason why the man (who turned out to be the main character upon investigation) was doing community service or anything else. I had to go back and refresh my memory before I could keep reading. That's just sad. Ha!
I know better than to start a new book the first week of school. And know better than to start a book at 8:30 at night even on a regular week.
Oh well, sometimes you gotta live on the edge!
PS I'm really enjoying the book so far. I'm also remembering it!
I own this book, but haven't started it yet!
