Annular postponing | Annular Summer

I have to confess, I am sort of postponing reading 2666 until I take a good chunk out of the last four books of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I recommended the series to my friend Matt a few years ago, myself only part of the way through the fourth book (of seven–soon to be eight, because he's writing a new book that goes between books 4 and 5 or 5 and 6; I can't remember which ), and he loved the books. He's been bugging me to read and finish the series so we can talk about it, and I promised him I would. So I picked up book four, Wizard and Glass, and started re-reading. I've still got maybe fifteen hundred pages left in the series, all things considered, before I finish, and that's a lot, so I probably won't delay reading 2666 until I'm done with the whole series, but I will delay it just a little bit so I can focus my full attention on the Dark Tower and let it pull me back in. Juggling two big books at the same time can be daunting and difficult, so I'll put it off for a little bit.

In other news, I'm starting to job hunt, setting my sights low on part-time jobs (got rejected for the few full-time ones I put in an application for), but I think I'm okay with that for just right now. We'll see how it goes.
