New Book

So I finally found a book to read: 1984.

I've never read it — I know, I know! No really, I know. I cracked it open for the first time on the bus on Monday, and by page 8, someone stopped me and said "Is this the first time you've read this? ... Seriously?"

So, I'm finally reading it. Although, it's kind of like seeing "Citizen Kane" for the first time after hearing about it your whole life: You pretty much already know the plot, the themes, and all the good lines.

I have a feeling completing it will take me a while because I pretty much do all my reading on the bus. But now that the weather's nicer, I'm riding my bike to work again. I rode for the first time this year on Tuesday. The route was nice, but holy crap am I out of shape. I was huffing and puffing the whole way, even on the downhills, with a tailwind, when I wasn't even peddling. Hello legs, when did you get so weak and flabby? Jerks.
