Readings

I had a plan, I was going to read some books I had talked about in my earlier post, and while doing that, have a light "fun" read at the same time, for when I didn't feel like diving into anything to heavy. First up for the fun read was Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy as I have the 5 part hardcover, and hadn't read it for some time. For any of you that have not read it and enjoy British humor, please stop reading after this paragraph and go get the book and read it. It's not that I am going to be saying anything else about this series, I just think you should read it (and as a few wise individuals once told me, read it with an English accent in your head and it is much better).
Sadly, this plan to read at the same time didn't come about, as I flew threw Hitchhiker in a few days time, having failed to even open up any of the other books. I decided to move onto the Narnia series, because we picked up a new copy of that series recently. This time I have actually opened one of the other books, but only so far as the third chapter so far and I am now just finished the final Narnia book. Oh well, it was good to read something light.
I do find, however, that the first books (in the Narnia series) are much easier and lighter to read, and by the final book, it is actually quite a heavy feel in the reading emotionally. I guess I am slowly running out of easy reads and I should focus more on the other books.
I guess this is what I get from actually making a reading plan for my summer reading...
