Rediscovering Old Joys

You know the saying, every cloud has a silver lining... well, I just realized that the silver lining to being stranded in two different airports was that it caused me to rediscover how great reading is. At my first delay I was incredibly bored so I ended up just wandering around and walked into a store. As I was browsing through the top 25, I noticed the book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. I read Tipping Point years ago and I loved it so I figured, what the heck, and splurged $18 for it.

It's really sad how being forced to do something totally sucks the joy out of it: even something as cool as reading. But that's what happened to me after 7 years of college and post-bacc: reading became a chore. Maybe when you're totally bored the most mundane things become interesting or my mind was craving some kind of intellectual stimulation, but I really started enjoying reading again. I'm just about finished with Blink, so if you have any suggestions for good reads, feel free to let me know!
