Crawling back under my rock... | auroraborealis's Blog

Well, it was nice coming up for air, but I'm going to go crawl back under my rock and hide from the world for a while.   I feel like a complete and total failure, I feel like a total loser, I feel totally worthless and I just can't stand daylight right now.    I'm happier when I'm off by myself.   But I think love stories are out of the question for a year or so.   You know you're in trouble when "The Prince" is more uplifting than a love story--and "The Prince" is next up.

After "The Prince" I'm finally going to tackle "The Canterbury Tales."   A few weeks ago I read a wonderful biography of Chaucer's sister-in-law Katherine Swynford and it has renewed my interest.   After that I've got "The Fountainhead."   After that, I've got this book on number theory that's sitting on my bookshelf, that's a possibility.    Or maybe I'll disappear for a couple of years and finally finish "Godel, Escher, Bach."   I've had that book for over 20 years and I've never gotten through the first chapter.

I've got a stack of summer reading and none of it will stir up any unwanted memories.    Hopefully by the time I finish my stack these feelings that are causing me so much pain will have subsided and I will be able to get back to some semblance of my old self.

Well, I'm off to meet "The Prince"...
