Things I have been reading

Aside from sporadically delving into textbooks for university, I haven't had that much time to read novels or magazines. I am terrible at managing my time, especially in portioning off that quiet, solitary time you need to devote to reading. So, to fix this, I've started reading a few things this month. The ones I've particularly enjoyed have stars put next to them.

Half Read/Started:
Mark Treddnick - The Little Red Book of Writing*
Christopher Hitchens - A Letter to the Young Contrarian
James Joyce - Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Maya Angelou - I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings* (close to finishing this one, it's an amazing autobiography of her early life)
Emily Dickinson - Collected Poems*

Read:
Neil Gaiman - Sandman: The Dream Hunters (Graphic Novel)*
Sam Harris - Lying*

Online:
I've read a few things online, but I'd like to share a link to this great article on the New York Times about what people read on the subway.

Looking back, I've spent a disproportionate amount of time reading things on screens rather than reading things on paper or Kindle (e-ink doesn't count as a screen! Maybe it does. Damn). Looks like a trip to the bookstore or the library is in order.
