… can I finish Master and Commander<\/a>\"\"<\/i> by tomorrow night, midnight – in order to “get it in” to my Books Read This Year list, which, naturally, I will post in full, cause I’m geeky like that. I’m 110 pages into Master & Commander<\/i> … and I know I am the last person on the planet, to the far end of the world, who has NOT read these books … and I feel like a drug addict right now. I not only will read this book – but I will read ALL of the aubrey-maturin books and I will join the vast Patrick O’Brian Fanatic Family. Amazing!!! But still. Can I read 300 pages by tomorrow? And also go see Charlie Wilson’s War<\/i> tonight and have a margarita? And also put the finishing touches (FINALLY) on my long-delayed Quantum Leap<\/i> recap<\/a> post, episode 3? I’m also not feeling well, and slept most of the day so far – very unusual for me. And I’d also been working on my review of Daisy Kenyon<\/i> which I saw before Christmas at a screening<\/a> – in preparation for the upcoming Otto Preminger retrospective – the review should go up next week, I’ll provide a link. I’ve been busy. So I’m already “behind” with Master & Commander<\/i>. Love love loving it, though! Will it or will it not make it onto the 2007 list? How will we all deal with the unbelievable suspense?? At least I don’t have 4 books to go – like Ted does<\/a> – you can do it, Ted!! Keep it up! I have already surpassed my numerical goal I put for myself – one book a week … and I managed to read that much even with Bleak House<\/i> which took me 3 months to complete. So wish me luck. Master & Commander<\/i>. 300 pages to go. But need to make time for Charlie Wilson’s War<\/i>. And alcohol. And Quantum Leap<\/i>. I can do it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
