Hard to Write, Because I am Reading

This post is hard to write.

Not because of any hardships I am suffering while traveling. Simply because nothing happened today. Me, Shashi, and Shammi stayed in all day watching TV, reading, and making idle chit chat.

I am currently reading 4 books simultaneously. I find it is the only way I know how to read at a pace where books will last a substantial time for me over here in India. I have hours a day where I am able to do just about whatever I want, and because i have none of the normal distractions of home, I spend those hours reading.

At every opportunity I put down the book to socialize with whomever and whatever I can, however over here there are just stretches of time when I am simply alone. Sometimes I write (mostly these posts), sometimes I play an old SNES game on my computer, sometimes I just sit and think, but mostly I read. Anything and everything I can get my hands on. Here is a list of the books I am currently reading:

The Hero With A Thousand Faces By Joseph Campbell
Le Mort de Arthur by Sir Thomas Malorey
The Wheel of Time By Robert Jordan
The Silmarillion Composited by Christopher Tolkien

The nice thing about bing over here is I have easy access to many other books, and I will keep you posted on what I am reading whenever something changes.
