A Slothly Start

It's fitting that this blog starts at 2am with a book on sloth. The time reminds me of how often I am up and not doing things I should. I could be surfing, cooking, reading but seldom do I work.

Guilt is half dead this morning. Times change. From this moment on reading is sanctioned by blog. I've got a vow to keep -- 162 books in 10 years.

It's a happy coincidence that the book to kick off this blog has a good study of bad habits. I am reading John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces which makes it the very first book for this bookwashing. A comedy about a sloth. (Don't get too excited. I had to read up to p.66 before I laughed aloud)

The beware for this book: a book reveling in bad habits still conforms by teaching what not to be.

Who knows when I'll check in but I will because I've a vow to keep.
