Decided to be a little gunnery and start reading Getting to Maybe instead of working on a paper thats due today. So far ive learned that law school is all about forks.

That book has been sitting on my nightstand and judging me as I read Star Wars books and Neil Stephenson novels, I might actually crack it open and read it sometime soon.

+1 but getting through A Song of Ice and Fire instead. Definitely want to read it by summer though.
I recently read 1L of a Ride - I thought it was pretty good. Good advice about how to prepare all year long (outlines, note taking, etc.)

I just finished Seveneves last night, it was the first of his that I'd ever read and now I'm obsessed. Any recommendations of what to read next?

I swear I'm going to read Sisters in Law, just as soon as I finish season 1 one of Better Call Saul. And House of Cards. And The West Wing.

Goddammit Netflix.

I've only read Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon. Cryptonomicon was pretty good, but Snow Crash was amazing. Haven't read Anathem either, but I'll add it to my list!

You should also look into David Mitchell's books like The Bone Clocks, Cloud Atlas, and Number9dream.

I loved David Mitchell until I read The Bone Clocks. Now I only really like him.

Haha, that's understandable. It wasn't my favorite novel, but I am still reeling from that gut punch of an ending.

Not sure if it's possible to neglect my work more so than I do now, but I will sure as hell try.

I like nonfiction but I've definitely got to intersperse it with fiction to keep myself going. I've never read any David McCullough but I just looked up The Path Between the Seas and it looks really interesting, I may have to check it out.

I'm currently reading The Man Who Walked Through Time by Colin Fletcher in preparation for a backpacking trip into the Grand Canyon next month and This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein in preparation for feeling super guilty every time I buy anything. :wink:

This just made me realize that I got halfway through the Bone Clocks, put it down, and then completely forgot about it. Worth it to pick it back up more than a month later?
