I read KC Davis' "How To Keep House While Drowning" in one sitting. The short chapters really helped, but I'm still surprised my attention span let me sit for almost two hours...

Otherwise, I am slowly reading "Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age" by Norman Ohler. I've decided to join one of my library's book clubs (they have two!) and that's the book for this month. I don't normally read non-fiction but the book has been interesting thus far.

I also started a reread of the first Artemis Fowl novel, but I'm having issues with attention span, partially because I have the dead tree paperback version and I'm finding it less pleasant to read than an ebook. It's like there's not enough contrast between the text and background, which just makes me feel OLD.

This just prompted me to reserve How to Keep House While Drowning from the library finally! I've been curious about it, being someone who struggles with that kind of stuff.

I feel old every time I have to bump up the font size on my ereader. ;_; But also YES, since getting an ereader with a backlight it's very hard to read regular paper books unless I also have a light directly on the page.
