Today is kind of a blah day. I watched football all day yesterday, and was exhausted by 11pm...I think I'm getting old. But it was fun. We watch Michigan's disappointing loss against Notre Dame, parts of Iowa/Iowa State, and Texas/Ohio. So I think I'm footballed out for the weekend. I know there are huge NFL games today, but really, I've had my fill and I have to get ready for Monday Night football tomorrow. I think I'll just read a book today.
Speaking of which, I mentioned in a previous entry that I was taking on Paulo Coelho, right. So far I have read The Alchemist, By the River Piedra I sat and wept, and I am currently reading Eleven Minutes. So far, the Alchemist is my favorite, and I'm finding the others a little...something. I can't quite place it yet. They are definitely interesting in that I want to keep reading them til I'm finished, but I'm not sure how I feel about them yet. They require a fair amount of concentration and intellectuality to read and comprehend, which is neither good nor bad. And the subject matter is intriguing, exploring love as emotion vs decision, sex within and outside the context of love and life's journey. Like I said, the verdict is still out. When I finish a couple more of his books I'll let you know if I've come to a conclusion.
In any case, I might go enjoy the weather today and read in the park.
