Affected by Books

Before I read the Barcode Tattoo books, I was plowing through The Mediator series. The Tattoo books were good sci-fi, kind of heady, and I find I cannot settle back down to spunky Suze and her brand-name-dropping and worries about cute boys. I am moving on, instead, to Arthur C. Clarke. Hope I can handle it! I've only read one ACC book, "Childhood's End," and it kind of freaked me out. I think I'll go back and re-read that one, though, because that was a lifetime ago, before marriage, children, and BIG philosophical changes. Funny how what we read is affected by our current mood, our life changes, our current interests, etc. I'm just glad that summer is coming SOON with lots of reading time!
