79. I’ve needed glasses since I was in fifth grade, but I didn’t get them for eight months because my mom couldn’t believe that her darling son didn’t have perfect vision. How F’ed up is that?

I start a lot of projects without finishing them. Sometimes I start them never intending to finish them. One of my oldest projects (so old, in fact, that I don’t have a link to when I started it) is to read all of the books that have won a Nobel Prize, or have had any major impact in the literary scene. Ashley just posted about something similar.

Well, now I’m sort of getting back onto that project. I’ve been a lame-o this year and have only read The Three Musketeers for my ‘read your weight in books’ project, but I’m finally getting back into that into the project by reading the Nobel Literature Winning Novel “Un Ensayo Sobre la Seguera.” This doubles its impact because it also helps me with my other project: that of ‘making my Spanish not suck so bad.’

It’s a good book.  If you doubt it, just check out the trailer for the movie they’re making out of it.  I, personally, can’t wait.
